I've been driving the Civic Type R on ethanol for over a few months and as expected the stock Civic fuel system is still doing great. Over time pumps have been known to fail on FK8, so I assume the FL5 would be the same (I like pushing my luck though).
As of now the car is on a E50 ethanol blend, custom tuning done by Daniel at Powermetric. Currently the Hondata FlashPro does not support flex fuel tuning, but I read their post that it's coming soon! This is a cost effect (traditional) way of tuning with ethanol, without going the Flex Fuel Kit route, BUT I definitely recommend a flex fuel kit because of how much easier it is and well...flexible.
Below is a link of a Fuel write up I did if you're new to this:

For a stock Civic Type R fuel system an ethanol blend is the most optimal. You could tune for full Ethanol but I prefer getting the highest power output for the current state of the set-up. So until I have a fuel system that can support all the juice, blending it is. lol
During the initial test, the Civic Type R was stock except for Hondata FlashPro and custom tuning by PowerMetric.net on a E40 blend (ethanol & 91 octane).
