Is it good practice to cut a little nick out of
the joist, enough to lay the wiring for the flooring to flush with the joist
over the top? Is this detrimental to the structure?

I have no idea on the legal and such aspects raised by the other posters
here. If you are boarding out why not do a rewire? The nicks are not
likely to detract much. Especially so if you do the dirty over a wall.
Also you can add a strip to the side of the joist to increase the
strength.

Speaking of which, what are you doing to increase the load carrying
capacity of the timbers?
