I find it very hard to believe that:

"we use MVS/MF only because we have old APPL which wd be expensive to
convert to Win/Linx/Ux"

It has taken 20+ years to develope&  improve all the
Online/Trnx/Batch/Monitor/Tool/Plex/HSM/SMS/DB for MF, because they were
needed to run IT.

So what? It taken ages to develop horse-driven vehicles.
(Disclaimer: I didn't compare mainframe to wagon, my focus is on effort). Majority of the tools&techniques mentioned above is available on non-mainframe platforms.


Are all these available today on Win/Linx/Ux today?
Do they have as good of a RAS that MF does?
Does Win/Linx/Ux provide Vertical/Horizontal growth, CF, ... ?

Growth - Yes. RAS - worse, but often "good enough".


Can a a 'new' big Bank/Ins Co not run MF today?

Vast majority of polish banks do it. No insurance company in Poland use mainframe, only 3 banks use mainframe.
