I did some tests years ago on various compression formats.
Compressing WAVs to FLACs and then decompressing the FLACs back to a new WAVs resulted in the new WAVs binary identical to the original WAVs.

Some people claim that some codecs don't work properly, but I've not personally knowingly seen that.
What about the time & resources required to de-code the FLACs..?
