MS Sharepoint sunset of "Alert me" (on folder changes) completes next month

As far as I can tell, the modern alternative is to set up a MS Power Automate flow to watch the folder and send alerts. Which to me seems a bit clunkier in initial setup and perhaps even in maintenance/durability. This means having the Power Automate product (may cost extra?), setting up some kind of graphical workflow (if the built-in AI doesn't build it right the first time, which for me it doesn't seem to), testing the workflow to see if it as designed right / works (having now built a specific solution using a generic engine), and maybe maintaining that workflow if/when the modules used in the flow get deprecated/retired/changed in the future.
A May, 2025 announcement was covered at [1], but with the full "end" is approaching next month, it seems like news again.
