Hi everyone,
@I've got 3 units of M7i routers @ my lab which i need to upgrade to the most recent version.
1 is running version 7.3R2.9 and the other 2 running 8.5.
What is the Compact Flash (CF) size on those boxes, or do they have CF at all?
If they have CF, You may be better off just removing CF - because the original CF is small+EOL and Juniper replacements are EOL as well - and letting those boxes to run upgraded JUNOS off the HDD.

I've got RE 5.0 model on all of them, i was wodering if it even possible to upgrade on my situation ?
RE 5.0 was declared EOL back in 2012, so no support for upgrade to 15.1.

In addition, in order to enable jflow on those routers do i need license or newer software version / dedicated hardware ?
You can certainly run RE-based jflow v5 or v8 (but not both simultaneously). No license is required.
If You have ASM in these boxes then You can run HW-assisted jflow v5 or v8, or RE-based jflow v8 and ASM-based Jflow v5 at the same time. ASM-based Jflow requires a honor-based license.
What You cannot do is to run IPFIX since it is supported only on Trio linecards and M7i supports either ABC or ICHIP FEB.
Given all of the above, if I were You, I'd look at virtualized Juniper remote labs instead
