a) Do we still count as unmarried partners, or do the changes to the law for civil partnership now make it possible to submit my application for pre-settled status as opposite-sex civil partners using the French PACS?

At the stroke of midnight of December 2nd 2019, yours became legally considered a civil partnership in England and Wales.

Report from Equal Civil Partnerships here:

Many other couples will have gone to bed on Sunday 1st December cohabiting and woken up to find themselves civil partners. Civil partnership equivalents entered into outside the United Kingdom automatically became a legal relationship at 00.01am on Monday 2nd December.

Which refers to the latest legislation, amended to take force on December 2nd 2019 here:

(5B) The time when the two people are treated as having formed a civil partnership is the time when the 2019 Regulations come into force.

Regarding your further questions:

b) In case of our relationship breaking down and we count as unmarried partners, do I have to leave the UK?

Not applicable.

c) In the case of our relationship breaking down but we register as civil partners, do I have to leave the UK?

No, since your PACS now being recognized as a civil partnership, you are now a direct family member.

I have split your question into a separate thread as it is unrelated to the original thread that you had posted in.

I registered my marriage on the registry office this year

While your clock to acquire PR started from the date you were issued a residence card, your marriage for the purpose of retaining right of residence only started when your marriage was registered with the Registry office. You need to have been married for atleast three years from the date your marriage was registered in order to retain rights of residence.
