Received this e-mail from Amazon (in English though my account is on Amazon France, so this is definitely global) :

"Dear Kindle Customer,

Thank you for using the Send to Kindle service to send personal documents to your Kindle library. We noticed that the following document(s), sent by you at 11:45 AM on Thu, Jan 05, 2023 GMT are in MOBI (.mobi, .azw) formats:
[***].mobi

We wanted to let you know that Send to Kindle will soon remove the ability to send MOBI (.mobi, .azw) files to your Kindle library. Any MOBI files already in your library will not be affected by this change. MOBI is an older file format and won’t support the newest Kindle features for documents. Any existing MOBI files you want to read with our most up-to-date features for documents will need to be re-sent in a compatible format.

Compatible formats now include EPUB (.epub), which you can send to your library using the new Send to Kindle for Web, the free Kindle app. We will be adding EPUB support to the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac. "

So from what Ownedbycats [do you top my eleven ?...] said, no more way around from KFX (more "aggressive" than KF8, or just impossible to drop without an early version of Kindle for PC) ?
