As it seems that by 2026 there will be no ability to do this in
Publisher, I am looking for a replacement that will have
equivalent page layout capability, and will import Publisher
files with their contents still accessible, not simply a single
image of the original.

Scribus is an open source equivalent to Publisher.  It seems it can import
Publisher files, although I couldn't vouch for how well it works.  I'd not
be surprised if some rework would be required after import.

Maybe set up a VM with a non-365 Publisher in it, so you have a copy on hand
when Publisher expires?
