I use the JSONata $flowContext function a lot to GET values from the flow context store but can I use this or a different JSONata function to SET values into flow context stores? I'm aware of how to do this with a flow.set in a function node or set in a change node but I am trying to do more with JSONata.

No - context is read-only with JSONata.
