I am convinced that a flex coupling model could be made that doesn't take up a huge file footprint.

For reference, my wave.ipt file is only 455 KB (232 for wave.stp) and weave.iam is only 117 KB (241 for weave.stp).

It's a matter of making it curved though that is a challenge. Way better than my previous attempt (using coil).

For reference, I used equations curves with a boundary patch surface.
