I think Barry is very empathetic but there's only so much one can feel the loss of people he doesn't know or remember (or really ever knew or remembered) as much as someone who does.
I don't think Barry should be held accountable for Flashpoint because it's a story that works around flawed logic and supposedly Manhattan was the one who really effected things, but as far as DC continuity is concerned Barry going back to save his mother in any adaption is tantamount to the Original Sin when it comes to time-travel and screwed the entire Flash Family up.
Which leaves poor Wally in the lurch again .

That's always been the unspoken rule. And yet, one of the most interesting eras of FLASH history was during the early Wally days before THE RETURN OF BARRY ALLEN, when Wally was the standard-bearer for the franchise, but Jay Garrick was the Fastest Man Alive.

That “stamina isn’t as good” rarely if ever features in the stories..when did a Flash ever show signs of being tired in middle of a fight...or fail to run round Earth without stopping?
I think Wally “got away with it” for several reasons. First the story quality was good, perhaps actually helped a bit by setting far lower speed limits for main hero. And secondly..surely large (vast?) majority of fans knew that Wally full speed would return, and he would eventually be fastest.
I think it was both fan service and a prop. I have the feeling these "other Forces" will not survive an upcoming reboot... the Speed Force sounds silly but the Strength/Sage Force sounds even sillier. The Flash War arc will likely not age well.
The only time that I remember where Jay's stamina was in question was Final Crisis... even then that was more a case of top speed.

Jay was in limbo with the rest of the JSA for most of Wally's early Flash career. Once Jay was back - along with Max and Johnny - Wally began to gradually surpass himself and get some power ups. The time interval when Jay and Wally were active at the same time with Jay being faster was actually quite short.
