Just stumbled upon this searching for similar solution.
You need to use the field key as reference, not the name, so it should be:

add_filter('acf/load_value/name=flexible', 'add_starting_repeater', 10, 3);
  function  add_starting_repeater($value, $post_id, $field) {
    if ($value !== NULL) {
      // $value will only be NULL on a new post
      return $value;
    }
    // add default layouts
    $value = array(
      array(
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'layout_1' 
        'field_key_XXX' => 'the content here' 
      ),
      array(
        'acf_fc_layout' => 'layout_1'
        'field_key_XXX' => 'the content here' 
      )
    );
    return $value;
  }
