Should one avoid it in formal writing?
Is the word "so" informal?
It really depends on its usage. Depending on what the statement is, "as a result" or "henceforth" are suitable synonyms.

you should never start a sentence with the word "so." ex: so i went to my friends house...
however, it might be useful in formal writing as a cunjunction. like EF_team5 said, use other synonyms in its place though. "therefore" is also suitable

just never start a sentence with the word so will be fine
