Is flexbox layouts more superior to other layout methods?

As much as I understand, it is. However, when laying out a page, can you solely use the flexbox method?

I'm spending a lot of time to become highly familiar with the flexbox properties and what each one does. I'm getting a little worried that I may be spending to much time on it because I couldn't figure out how to create a simple layout.

I was trying to make a header and image stack as a column on the left, and a paragraph to center align on the right side of it.

Isit good practice to use all layout methods when needed or can all layouts be achieved just by using flexbox?

I am not a flex box expert, but flex box is great for laying out rows or blocks, product blocks, navigation. There is a CSS grid layout on it's way. Expect it might work within 2 years ... more info at https://24ways.org/2015/grid-flexbox-box-alignment-our-new-system-for-layout/
