My yubikeys were sent in an envelope identifying its content, I thought it wasn't a smart move at the time :/.

If you're at risk...

Yubikeys are exceptionally bad targets to intercept and modify if someone wants to send you an implant. It's more likely they'll get you with the next mass storage device or data cable you buy on Amazon.

You'd have to be an NSA-level target for them to take a Yubikey out of the mail stream and modify it. And at that point you're going to have all sorts of worse things to worry about.
Totally agree, anything with a (big) firmware or mass storage looks like a better device to compromise.
