I have some blank wall outlet cover plates, claiming to be "nylon".

Do you think I could punch a hole thru one of these with a chassis
punch, or is it likely to shatter?

I would be causes about that. If the nylon is fresh you'll be
able to do that because it should be soft however, nylon gets
brittle over time..

For the cleanest holes in town in a plate cover, use the
two mounting hole screws to mount against a block of wood and
use a hole saw, the size you need, preferably in a drill
press.

applying pressure to the plate out of context will most
likely crack it, because it is most likely kind of
hard by now.
