My current employer (long term contract work) and many other company policies simply require e.g. ms authenticator... Can't find any alternative to that. Is there a way to use company issued ms 2fa without a mobile phone (Android/iOS)?

It certainly seems clunky, but you could potentially use something like Bluestacks as a pseudo phone and install Authenticator under it. That wouldn't work for push though (like Duo).
I've been without a smartphone for about two years now and would not go back (although sometimes tempted by the false promise that a shiny new product will bring happiness).
It's easy, you just don't treat your phone as secure, do banking on a computer, along with email.
2FA is not magic, it's just another password. Just a password manager like pass [0] can generate 2FA codes, but it's easy enough to do with oathtool [1] that I wrote my own password manager.
