Why is `:eval never` not as good ? You don't have to write it on each
code block; you may set it globally, per file, per headline, etc.
See https://orgmode.org/manual/Using-Header-Arguments.html.

My version of pandoc generates org source blocks from markdown code
blocks (pandoc 3.1.11.1).
I'm not sure you'll get a better answer than this SE answer:
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/76466/how-do-i-get-syntax-highlighting-in-example-blocks-when-exporting-org-mode-to-ht
I.e. "begin_example" is just not designed for source blocks. It
may have worked by chance before.
Hoping this helps,
Bruno
