I know it's not ideal but I need to commute on my 29er for a few weeks and don't want to get new wheels so any recommendations for commuting tyres that will fit well on Flow rims?

Big Apples. Really fast at 25psi on wider rims. Need a bit of wind-up but so good on poor road surfaces.

I use Small Block 8s.
They work well tubeless on Stan's rims, they are fast on the road and reasonable off road.

If they're just for commuting I'd get some marathon plus, 28 or 35 or similar, maybe spesh roubaix armadillo if you want thinner profile

Pretty much zero chance of puncturing. No good offroad though, I imagine.

Schwalbe do a couple, there's a Kojak that'd be wide enough, or a Supermoto (which is a lot like a Big Apple but says SUPERMOTO on the side so wins)

The Kojak weighs nothing so is a wee bit unconfidence inspiring puncture wise but I'm yet to manage to flat mine (and a mate just destroyed my rear wheel without flatting 😉 )
