Does anyone have any advice for how to manage flashpoint tension and crises in your lands?

There's the suppression mechanic, but that doesn't seem to do anything. When I was Two Sicilies, I never used it and never had any flashpoint tension to worry about. I'm playing a new game as Dai Nam, have conquered Siam, and Thai flashpoint tension is constant. I suppress the Siamese Liberation movement, and it instantly returns in full force within the month. The only thing that causes it to decrease, I've found, is Greek crises (and yes, the crises are always Greek, you'd think some other conquered location would say something, but no).

Does anyone have any insight into what's happening?

Well, if you can generally find ways to decrease militancy in those areas, the liberation movements won't grow and therefore tension won't increase-- pay attention to events and the like and pass reforms that they might like.

Other than that, flashpoints are a risk of conquering lots of non-accepted pops.
