I'm on my second Disco 2 (both auto) in 20yrs. Have had 3 xyz switches in that time. When it has played up the M + S lights both flash on the dashboard; the vehicle will move but needs a lot of revs to make this happen. Rather like a slipping clutch. Leaving the motor turned off for 2-3 minutes always made it work again, but once it was happening regularly I always had the switch changed.

Exactly my experience with it too. New Xyz switches are getting hard to get hold of and flipping expensive but generally they can be repaired I think. Disco 2s are cracking trucks I think. They've started making galv chassis replacements for them which hopefully will give them some longevity going into the future.

Would it most likely be the XYZ switch then?

Unlikely if there is no dash lights, m and s lights. Does the screen on the dash register what your changing Into. The xyz is prone to playing up but wouldn't think it'd give up the ghost entirely with no movements in Reverse, Drive 123 etc. Are there any new dash lights at all?
