Don’t seem to have Shimano chainrings in stock though! So the 5800s sit like this; I don’t care too much for the aesthetic as long as it is safe to ride - is it? I note a really small gap between the chainring arm and crank arm but seeing as the bolts go through the hole I’m presuming that shouldn’t be an issue?

It's certainly not ideal, but as long as it sits snug on the sleeve nuts it should be okay. A bit of non-permanent Loctite on the hopefully torx bolts might be a good idea, otherwise just make sure they're good and tight, and check them once in a while.
Or, you could make it a bit better with some epoxy - spray the crank spider with something oily or waxy to work as a release agent, and dribble the glue in the gap. Or sprinkle bicarb and follow it with superglue. Won't be pretty, but that obviously won't bother you
