I understand the concept of UTXO hygiene, but I'm not sure if these tools still offer real benefits now that exchanges, blockchain analytics, and surveillance techniques are way more advanced.

Do you still use them? Or is it better to just use tools like Samourai + Stonewall + manual labeling?
These reasons should answer your question, and they are:

1. The amount you are talking about
2. How the coins got into your hand
3. The purpose of mixing the coins

These factors vary among people, so mixing is still a priority for some people. But certainly not all, depending on their situation with respect to those factors.

As for Exchanges, they might be smart, but mixed coins still penetrate easily. Moving it further among addresses, and even exchanging with different coins among DEX, after the mixers have delivered the mixed coin to you, would make it even harder for exchanges. And don't forget, it's not all exchanges that mandate KYC, so you can do it with different accounts.
