It won't block  the flush on asoc->state != ESTABLISHED,
in sctp_packet_can_append_data [1].

        if ((sctp_sk(asoc->base.sk)->nodelay || inflight == 0) &&
            !chunk->msg->force_delay)
                /* Nothing unacked */
                return SCTP_XMIT_OK;

        if (!sctp_packet_empty(packet))
                /* Append to packet */
                return SCTP_XMIT_OK;

        if (!sctp_state(asoc, ESTABLISHED)) <-----[1]
                return SCTP_XMIT_OK;
