And if the functional earth is not made/drops off/doesn't go to earth the RCBO 'may not work as normal'. Hmm. I think you have a lower probability of killing yourself with the non earthed type!

No it's there to detect Live to earth leakage when there is no neutral connection, something a regular RCD may not be able to do.

Apparently Chint can squeeze a 3-ph RCBO into a single-width module ...

Seems Screwfix is becoming quite the specialist electrical supplier with
33 of their 105 RCBOs now 3ph and a choice of 3 makes on offer.The Chint is both 3ph & 1 pole, neat space saving trick.
They're doing pre-stripped (as opposed to striped) earth wire too, that will save some work.
More seriously, it's good to see that 3ph RCBOs are becoming available (Hager etc), a pal had a holiday cottages setup with swimming pool and he had a hell of a job tracking down some nuisance trips through all of the water based elements running off single RCDs. I wanted to suggest converting his board to 3ph RCBOs but I couldn't find any (this was a while ago).

The schneider 3P+N RCD/MCB combo is 7 modules wide though.

Ouch! Sounds like a bit of a bodge.
Hager & Eaton look to be 4 modules wide so more sensible.
Haven't bothered to look at the specs in detail as no 3ph here and have rather lost touch with Mr Pool.

That looks horrible. The distribution boards will be twice the size.

When you click on the picture for detailed description, it says "single pole".

It says No. of Phases 3-Phase Number of Poles Single Pole
One might be forgiven, if they didn't see the photo, that it was for a
3-phase supply, where you might expect 3 single pole contacts.It's a term not confined to Screwfix:
