Thanks for the answers!
So I guess I will need to create the flow programatically using Nifi REST API
depending on the specifics of the cluster being setup, essentially:
Create processor group -> instantiate template
Will give that a try. Long term, I thing Nifi could accept several flows
definitions in the config.

David,
To expand on the second part of Andrew's answer, you can make templates of the
Process Groups you divide your flow into so that you can add only the ones you
need to any given cluster.

Yes, that's the purpose of this property and it's enabled by default. Did you
try it and not see expected behavior?
- I am creating a modular architecture, and depending on the modules that get
deployed on a given cluster, I only need part of the flow. Is there a way to
split the flow into several parts that can be independently added?
I would go with Processing groups and configure input & output ports for each.
