I will have to do this on my next build, as getting the LED in place has always bugged me. None of the other approaches I have tried are really satisfying. Time to revise my drilling templates.
Managed to fluke that on the MXR boost, got the led bevel close to the switch and covered the legs in heat shrink. As it was a bi-colour led, straight to the switch really helped. Resistor straight on the middle lug to power and happy days.
