If you want to go this route, then filling most of the depth with a
solvent gripfill product, letting that go off, and then finishing with a
surface filler would probably work. That way you can fill the depth with
something that will go off fast enough but shrink a bit, and then using
something non shrinking for the last bit that gives a good cosmetic finish.

Matchsticks a little shorter than the hole.

Do you remember those giant matches - for fire lighting, I think?

Well they wouldn't be thick enough! :-)

I ended up using Screwfix' finest (i.e. cheapest)
gripfill-alike-non-solvent - squirted it into hole and kept slowly
squeezing as I withdrew the nozzle. Left it at least overnight - then
filled the remaining hole, largely caused by shrinkage, with ordinary
filler. And all is well.

Any clues how to get over OCD and autism?

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
