My boiler needs wiring into an FCU. I'd like to use a flush faceplate,
but this means that the flex needs to go straight into the plaster,
adjacent to the edge of the faceplate. Is this a bad idea / illegal?

If so, I'll just use a white faceplate which sits proud, and cut a hole in
the side.

You could use a FCU with a flex outlet on the front

Or one that allows you to pass the cord through the bottom of the face plate

I coundlt find these in Screwfix (only looked briefly)

Your local electrical wholesaler will stock them though
