I've been pulled several times on UK plates. Never asked for anything. Never has a GB sticker.
Green card is for insurance and now needed I think with vrexit.
Having stuff off the list is sensible incase you puncture and have to change a tyre in the dark etc, hiviz, triangles bulbs, but I wouldn't worry if you don't. -
I think hi-vis, breathalysers, triangle are compulsory IIRC. Bulb set also - however it doesn't matter if it's not the right one for your car, as long as you have one. I've moved the same old set that I bought about 6 cars ago over to every new car I've had, I think the car I've got now is all fancy sealed LED lights so I've got no clue where to start with that 😅

What’s required to drive in France, and is it more complicated than just buying one of these?

I’ve read and heard lots of different things. I believe you need to display ‘UK’ vs ‘GB’, which this kit would cover.
Would I need extra hi-viz for all passengers? Do you really need breathalysers? I have one spare headlight bulb at home, if I pack that, does that cover me if I’m stopped? (Edit: just realised there’s some sort of bulb set in the AA kit anyway).
Someone I spoke to even mentioned having a ‘green card’, but pretty sure that’s not required: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/driving-abroad
