flamethrower is safe on pretty much anyone's shield if they choose to just let it push them away. Maybe someone like wario or marth can shield it and jump over and hit through it before it can be cancelled, but most people will just SDI through it quickly and hit/grab you for free.

Is Flamethrower actually safe on DDD's shield like that?

There are six frames between each Flamethrower hit. The shieldstun is four frames if it hits straight out of Charizard's mouth (close hits) and five frames from a distance (far hits). That means that characters get a maximum of two frames between hits. Since no roll's invincibility starts on frame 2, they can't do anything (outside of Marth's Up-B). It is safe.

If the opponent doesn't roll through Charizard on startup, they can't really do anything but try to SDI through while getting hit, which only works if you're up close when you start getting hit, as Flamethrower pushes you out naturally.
