I'm looking for a Hypex or Purifi-based amplifier for a center channel speaker. The usual sources all seem backordered or have long lead times for certain components.

Hypex appears to have stock at diyclassd for some plate amps. Would I be crazy to grab a FusionAmp FA501 or FA251 and wire it to the center channel speaker inputs of the passive speaker? If I really cared someday I could remove amp module and put it in a case.

You wouldn't be the first and many have made custom cases for them. I tend to see them on the OB speaker forums and I'd certainly do it if needed.
