As I've understood, privacy badger reliability on heuristic classification of trackers can help blocking the latest trackers that are still not present in ublock origin lists. And cookie autodelete allows me to choose which cookies I want to keep and delete the rest. And Strict mode only blocks cross-site cookies, I want them all deleted.

Privacy Badger stopped using heuristic 4 years ago because it could be used to fingerprint you.
Cookie autodelete simply does not work with Firefox's Total Cookie Protection, which is enabled by default.

As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection. Also as of Firefox 103, standard mode has also enabled Total Cookie Protection. Use 'strict' mode if using pre-86, use standard mode for versions 86-102, or from version 103+ use the custom configuration and set cookie to 'cross site tracking cookies' option (not the cross-site cookies).

You don't even need an extension to automatically delete cookies, just enable privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown and privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage. To add an exception: Ctrl+I>Permissions>Cookies>Allow.

Check Arkenfox's extension page and the section about sanitizing on shutdown.
