If the neighbour is willing that sounds like an ideal solution. I guess that’s how it works in flats and conversions all the time so doubt it’d be a building regs problem.
Alternative would be a durgo or air admittance valve.
I expect the price of ceramic toilets is also linked to the price of gas. Big ol’ kilns to bake shitters.

BTW anyone looking to make their next million, don't buy stocks and shares, cyrpto or property, buy toilets.
Just starting the next bathroom renovation for a mate and went to buy the same sanitary ware that I normally get, roca, vitric and rak are my go to 'work well, medium priced' kinda stuff.
RAK 600 toilet, works well, good quality fitting kit, good quality flush mechanism, supplied with real bolts made of metal! Normally £150-200 inc VAT. 6 months since I last bought one, now they are £360+. All others seemed to have bumped up as well, they are made in places like Turkey, UAE places I don't think are affected with Brexit tariff's, however its likely that same as bike industry, they come to the UK distributors via a central European importer, so end up attracting tariff's and charges that way.
In this bathroom also need to modify the soil pipe to have a vent stack as currently does not have one! Result is large flushs siphoning out the traps in the sink + shower due to the lack of vent, been like that for decades I guess.
Anyone with plumbers knowledge know if its OK to tap into a neighbours vent pipe (they say yes) which comes up through the floor in pretty much the ideal location. Can chop and slide or glue a T in at a suitable height above this soil (2m sounds above sounds safe). Or there is some sort of requirement for soil pipe vents to be 'per each bathroom'.
