Are these things any worse than a tumble dryer vent (the sort of people who hang the hose out of their ground-floor flat windows seem obsessed with fragancing every passer-by with the Fresh Smell of Bounce)?

A little common sense in locating the flue and selecting its type will resolve most problems. Once the boiler is running it will modulate down after the system is up to temperature and the plume will get smaller anyway*.

Can't say it would bother me that much.

It doesn't go near any window

The plume can be quite thick and if near a window gives he appearance of smoke passing. If too near it may enter a room. I see many problems with these in flats, especially the older converted house types.

Mmmm. There's at least one of those that makes me want to physically puke.
