I have a Mamiya RZ67 Polaroid back that was designed for Fuji FP-100C or similar peel-apart pack film. Since FP-100C is discontinued and very expensive, I’m wondering whether any current film will work in that back. Can integral films like Polaroid 600 be used, or is there any modern replacement for peel-apart film that fits these older backs?

FP100c is a peel-apart film. Integral films like the Polaroid 600 cannot be used with a peel-apart back.
There is only one peel-apart film currently manufactured, but it's hand-made and therefore rather expensive, and I'm not sure whether it would be compatible with your specific film back or not: https://the.supersense.com/products/one-instant (note that 1 pack = 1 picture)

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
These backs were made for peel-apart pack film such as Fuji FP-100C. Polaroid 600 and similar modern integral films will not work in a peel-apart back because they use a completely different film format and processing method.
Based on the answers, there is essentially no mainstream modern replacement for FP-100C. The only currently made peel-apart option mentioned is One Instant, but it is hand-made, expensive, and compatibility with a specific RZ67 back is not guaranteed.
So in practical terms, your old Polaroid back cannot use Polaroid 600 film, and usable film options are extremely limited. If you want a currently supported instant workflow for the RZ67, an Instax-compatible back is the more realistic route.
