Yes, low-growing, root-anchoring plants will be a good option--you could also use thyme, heather (if soil appropriate), juniper, hummocky ornamental grasses, Ceanothus repens and helianthemum if sunny enough, or for a more shady site, hardy geraniums as people have recommended.
When your conifer hedge grows up, the growing conditions behind it will change, so you might need to rethink the planting.

I bought two P.affinis in 8" pots last year and the now cover a square yard each. Cuttings take readily so you could cover a large area quickly and cheaply.

Thanks. I really like how that looks, will definitely look into it a bit more. It ticks a lot of boxes for what I need
One good of many relating to P. affinis is that the dead leaves stay on in winter and are a nice copper colour like Beech and they get pushed off by new growth in spring.
