I guess the starting comment is that I know nothing about the workings and habits of French banks.
For me, I have no hardcopy communication from the bank(s) at all. It is all electronic though each bank account requires an in-country mailing address.
I have no issue logging into electronic banking from any country to any country. I do not use a VPN. (well, I do but for other reasons and inconsistently).
You can definitely use Pinsentry abroad. I also have phone numbers foreign to the country that the account is in and I receive security SMS and the like without issue.
Life only ever becomes a pain on the very rare occasions a signature is required. Also, getting replacement cards can be an issue. They will send them anywhere, but sometimes they take persuading.
That said, F. Brexit indeed.
