Honestly the only thing I can imagine liking in a formal setting is comrade. Mx has always looked and sounded awkward to me. I don't like referring to people formally in general because I think it's too impersonal, but if there is a time when it's appropriate I would prefer comrade.

Obviously that will not manifest in Western society for a long time
