I just picked up a 2-1/8" (54mm) socket for my flywheel nut.  Didn't pay
attention and got a 12 point socket.  Is this okay for the 350 ft-lb of
torque or should I have a 6 point socket?

Sure it will work. You will need a long lever arm (6 feet) or a 3/4 impact wrench.
Probably a lever will be easier on the nut.
