If the Earth was a disc, there would be somewhere on Earth, every day, where the sun rises due south and sets due north, and vice versa, where the sun crosses the "edge".

This is a mistake caused by you conflating two incompatible worldviews. If the earth is a disc and has an edge, there is no reason to assume that the sun would cross over that edge. You are probably imagining a flat disc “floating through space” - which is what i mean by conflating incompatible worldviews.

This has never been observed by anyone

True (as far as i am aware).

therefore the Earth is not a disc.

False, it just means the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west regardless of where you are on earth. It doesn’t prove (nor depend on) the earth’s shape in any way.

but FE doesn't make any sense based on observable reality

If you’d like to understand it / have it make sense - please join us to discuss it on flatearthresearch! Of course, simply because something makes sense doesn’t make it correct and vice versa.

If the Earth isn't a globe, it's definitively not flat.

Possibly. In my personal view, assuming it is covered in 70+% liquid water, it is surely mostly flat.
