Was the coolant "flushed" or "drained and replaced"?

There is a difference.
I used (heavy duty) Bar's Leaks on my '91 turbo back in March to cure a heater core problem that was fogging my windshield. It came that way when I bought it.
A couple weeks after treatment, it was gone almost right away, along with the smell.
My temp guage isn't bouncing and has never gone above 10 o'clock even on the hottest days.
It hasn't hurt my car a bit.
If your cooling system was neglected in the past, and there is sufficient buildup (liked a clogged artery), then Bar's leaks will do the best it can plug up the hole. That's what it's for, filling voids.
Moral is you gotta keep ahead of the problems before they leave you stranded by doing as much preventative maintenance as possible. If you don't know when it was replaced or checked last, it's probably time.
Sorry it happened to such a great car!
