Even with those changes, yearly developer fee for even creating app for family is still required, right?

I don’t think so, you can create an app without the fee. (Xcode is free and nothing is gated based on subscription AFAIK), you just can’t upload it. So I think for EU users this isn’t the case.

I don't know if they changed it, but the xcode certificates (used to?) expire every week or so, so you'd need to re-up from the apple servers via a mac with xcode.
