One thing I hate about a lot of the default Vim plugins is that they add o to formatoptions. In Vim I would get around this by using au FileType * set formatoptions-=o in my vimrc, but for some reason this no longer works when using Neovim. How can I go about achieving this?

You can use a BufWinEnter event instead.
That's a late event, which should happen after all the filetype detection and setup is finished.
au BufWinEnter * set formatoptions-=o
The docs in :help BufRead suggest possibly using this event:
See
BufWinEnterfor when you need to do something after processing the modelines.
While your case is not directly about modelines, that was a hint that this event might be useful...
Please note this event may be triggered more than once for a specific buffer. If the command you're running is idempotent (which is the case with your command), that should be fine.
afterdirectory to overwrite plugin defaults. It wouldn't be that simple -- you will have to care about every plugin in question, but should work.BufWinEnterevent instead. That's a late event which should happen after all the filetype detection and setup is done.au BufWinEnter * set fo-=o.
