without modifying the task or the general flow structure, would I still need to redeploy my flow?

@alex redeploying your flow, i.e. re-registerig your flow, is necessary as long as anything in your metadata has changed. What counts as metadata is:
1. your flow structure (tasks and edges)
2. your storage and run config
3. your flow name, project name
4. the Prefect Core version
5. and your serialized flow
Especially because of #5 the answer to whether you need to reregister depends on whether you use a pickle or script based storage.
A detailed description of flow metadata can be found here: https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/backend/flow.html#flowview
