But, always factor in the overall health of the plant when deciding whether to permit thi to move forward or not. I always try to vote for the future health of the plant.....so I can enjoy future blooms for years to come.
Remember, the survival strategy is for our plants to sometimes produce blooms and so, seed when they are unwell.....along with when they are well.
It's your puppy and so must be your call.

I sacrifice the blooms if I feel the plants energy needs it to live and to my delight I've found that cut Phals last almost as long in water as they do attached to the plant. Had some that lasted 2 months, I would just trim the end of the spike when I changed the water every few days. This plants roots look amazing (I can learn lol) and it's leaves are nice and stiff. I will be keeping an eye on it's overall health and hoping I don't need to cut the spike but have no problemsacrificing a few flowers now for the future life of the plant. I couldn't agree with ur advice above more <3
