I presume blocking up the air vent completely would be a bad thing?


Yes. The airflow prevents the joists from rotting. Don't do it.

Is
it worthwhile attempting any other sort of under-floor insulation?


No.

yes.

lift boardsd, fit celotex/kingspan between, foil tape over the whole
lot, refit boards.


result no draughts and about 5 times better insulation than carpet.
