No, I'm sorry but 445 threshold current is about 250ma. 30ma won't get you far with any diode really.
The idea of a 50mah lipo is great cause the good ones are rated 20c so 1 amp bursts with 3 minutes (max) runtime. Of course at high currents the capacity of a cell is usually a bit lower so more like 2 minutes total runtime with a little over 1 watt of power.
This is a really great idea and I hope to build one.
Edit: well I forgot to account for the current used because of boost, with only 1 amp input the flex will put out like 700-800 ma (just a guess, correct me if I'm wrong). If you could fit in 2 if those batteries it would work great.
