Thanks for the links, I missed that NTF3 was already included in the
kernel I use (from Debian testing). So in my case ntfs3g is able to
mount a rescued partition, while NTFS3 is not (thanks Andrei for
confirming what I supposed): this means that in some cases, NTFS3 is not
as mature as ntfs3g.

As far as I know, NTFS3 is not enabled in any Debian kernel. 🤔
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998627

Which probably explains why I could not mount using `mount -t ntfs` :-)

Slightly off-topic question: using pre-5.15 kernel, how can I mount a
partition with kernel driver?

You can't, the NTFS kernel driver first appeared in Linux 5.15.

From what I understand, there was a read-only driver before 5.15:
- see for example https://superuser.com/questions/139452/kernel-ntfs-driver-vs-ntfs-3g or https://www.paragon-software.com/us/home/ntfs3-driver-faq/ - kernel build config (/boot/config-....) also mentions ntfs, even for pre-5.15 kernels
