Sure, would be wired in between the time clock and the boiler, so no issue to what boiler as long as a 240v switch (this boiler does not require overrun)

if put stat betwwen timer and boiler when up to temp it will kill pump as well as knocking of heat

Ideal classic don't have a pump over run facility , so this isn't a problem . Pump stops when you turn off the clock anyway.

The whole idea is to knock off the heat, and the cast iron heat exchanger is the heat sink hence no overrun required (that's why so many fan failures on classics IMHO)

It would be the idea on a boiler with a permanent live to provide pump over run , but the classic Dsnt have one and there's no relays in the pcb to facilitate it either .

What you're describing there is how the boiler temp stat works.
