Would this be a good idea? The bottom surface of the printed things would be way more flat. Anyone tested this? Any reason why i shouldnt test it?

The surface is textured so that the parts stick better. If you want a smooth surface, it should be fine to turn it upside down. But you will be a little more likely to have prints come off the bed.

Thx, thought that. But using brim might help, correct?

Somewhat. But it usually prints alright just as is on a smooth bed. The micro texture helps just a bit.
