Can I connect to vSphere 6.5 through vSphere Client for Windows? Using the vSphere Client 6.0 client, I can’t connect, maybe there is an undocumented feature left, or will I have to use an unusual / inconvenient web face?

can.
here for example a hook to the client to a hypervisor. it is possible and through vorkstation. but in the first and second cases there will be incomplete functionality

no. on 6.5 the client is missing. and in the future, management will be through a web face

Unfortunately, starting from version ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard (Build 5969303), management is only through the web client at https://IP-addreess-VMware/ui/#/login
VMware vSphere Client - no longer supported, official The resolution on the website reads:

VMware ESXi 6.5 Update 1 Release Notes

vCenter Server, vSphere Web Client, and vSphere Client Issues
A warning message appears after you install the desktop vSphere Client for Windows, and try to connect to an ESXi host
The desktop vSphere Client was deprecated in vSphere 6.5 and is no longer supported. When you try to connect to an ESXi 6.5 host, the following warning message appears: The required client support files need to be retrieved from the server "0.0.0.0" and installed. Click Run the installer or Save the installer.
In this case use the VMware Host Client to conduct host management operations.

In other words, if you need to manage using VMware vSphere Client 6.0.0, feel free to upgrade to the ESXi-6.5.0-20170404001-standard (Build 5310538) version, this is your ceiling.
