I bookmark 8-10 times per book, and then use those lines from the file, to tell me when I finished the book, and started a new one.

So, don't take away my My Clippings file! OK, an option to turn it off if desired would work.
You should try Export Notes and see if it works for you. It does not export Bookmarks (use a highlight or note), and it is not available for 'Docs' (on Kindle - but is iOS/Android/Fire it works with Docs as well), but it is convenient.

I understand there are workflows people have around My Clippings (like yours), but it's always been too limited for me to use (I don't do all of my reading on a Kindle).

To the extent that I 'track reading' I use Goodreads. Again I don't do all my reading with Amazon's ecosystem, much less a single Kindle.
