So I’m almost there:

//multi-dimensional array in_array
function multi_in_array($value, $array) 
{ 
    foreach ($array as $item) 
    { 
        if (!is_array($item)) 
        { 
            if ($item == $value) 
            { 
                return true; 
            } 
            continue; 
        } 

        if (in_array($value, $item)) 
        { 
            return true; 
        } 
        else if (multi_in_array($value, $item)) 
        { 
            return true; 
        } 
    } 
    return false; 
} 

function save_to_acf_layout( $content, $post_id )
{

$field_key = 'field_5318e86463d1d'; //flexible content key

$value = get_field($field_key);

if(get_page_template_slug( $post_id ) === '') :
	if(!multi_in_array('the_content', $value)) :
		$value[] = array('text' => $content, 'acf_fc_layout' => 'the_content');
		update_field( $field_key, $value, $post_id );
	else :
		$value[0] = array('text' => $content, 'acf_fc_layout' => 'the_content');
		update_field( $field_key, $value, $post_id );
	endif;
else :
	$flex_content = $value[0]['text'];
	wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_content' =>  $flex_content ) );
endif;

return $content;
}

add_filter( 'content_edit_pre', 'save_to_acf_layout', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'content_save_pre', 'save_to_acf_layout', 10, 2 );

But now I’m stuck with this infinite loop. I’ve tried removing the filters but when I do wp_update_post doesn’t run. Ideas?
