Bosch and Siemens machines tend to have adjustable feet on all four corners. If I am aware of a slope in the floor I usually put a spirit level across approx. where the rear feet will be and measure the difference then simply adjust the rear feet to reflect that difference. Then push the machine into position and adjust tha front feet never had a rocking machine and everything sitting plumb.

I have now looked at the instructions (as I should have done in the
first place) and it seems all four feet are adjustable. Adjusting the
rear feet without access while the machine is in place could prove
problematic, so levelling the floor may still be the only option.

For some reason the instructions say I must not use pieces of wood or
cardboard but I assume this means loose wood?

There can be a lot of vibration forces when it's spinning, and I guess
they're worried about it falling off. I had a washing machine in a
kitchen with a significantly dished floor, and without a piece of timber
under the front, some water would run out the front of the detergent
tray when it was filling.

Thanks. I think it's a case for returning to Plan A. Remove washing
machine. Tile gap in the floor as level as possible with existing
tiles (on the right).
