Running Feeds.create_feed_document() in SANDBOX mode doesn't work

In SANDBOX mode (setting environment variable AWS_ENV=SANDBOX) I tried running create_feed_document() which sent a request with this body to the sandbox endpoint (I had set the content_type variable):
{"contentType": "text/tab-separated-values; charset=utf-8", "path": "/feeds/2021-06-30/documents", "marketplaceIds": ["ATVPDKIKX0DER"], "MarketplaceIds": ["ATVPDKIKX0DER"]}
The response was an "invalid input" error. I tried running the same request in Postman first with the production path, which worked, then with the sandbox path, which failed with the same "invalid input" error.
After a few more Postman tests, I found that the sandbox for createFeedDocument only succeeds with {"contentType": "text/tab-separated-values; charset=UTF-8"} as the complete body (and it's space- and case-sensitive).
That's the only function I tried so far, but I suspect that the other functions in sandbox mode might have similar issues.
I just noticed a closed issue regarding the sandbox that would've saved me some time (my bad). I guess the documentation should have mention of the sandbox removed, or amend it to say that it doesn't work.
The sandbox only allows a fixed set of request bodies, as outlined in the endpoint's scheme. It's a complete waste of time using it.
