I have mislead you about NEO-M8T-0-10 TP 2 capabilities, sorry.
https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/NEO-LEA-M8T_ProductSummary_%28UBX-16000801%29.pdf does not differentiate between two outputs and lists range as 0.25Hz-10MHz.

Regarding flash/no-flash bootleg versions - mask ROM firmware residing on the die does not support FTS functions (there is not enough space for extra features and increasing the die size would increase base product cost) so if you have FTS product then it must have flash inside to run the code from. Whether this flash IC is of adequate size to accept future updates or whether its erasing and writing is supported by the main firmware in ROM is a separate question.  It is technically possible to create operational but non-upgradeable FTS product .
