@Mattflaschen-WMF , is it not possible to create a wiki in which only one namespace can contain flow boards?

It is possible.

However, automatically importing all Flow boards to that namespace (assuming there is indeed only one) regardless of their original namespace seems potentially confusing. Also, you would have to handle collisions (where originally you had e.g. User_talk:Foo and Project_talk:Foo and now they're both mapped to Talk:Foo).

The namespace data says whether there are more than one namespace with that content type in the source dump, and the namespaces of the target wiki are known to importDump.php.
I think it would be reasonable to implement this with a constraint that it refuses to work if there are more than one namespace for the content type on each of source and target wiki.

Are there any other problems to consider?
