I have checked my tc binary and indeed it was not built with libbpf support. So
applying what is suggested in the thread you have attached, I rebuilt tc with
proper libbpf support, and now the original tc command works properly (bpf
program *and* map properly loaded through tc). So in the end, the issue was on
my testing setup.

I have already sent a v2 updating the other topics you have suggested, if it
raises new comments I will use the opportunity to put back the previous tc
filter command.

Thanks for the review and the helpful comments !
