I have also read some complex ways to use X-10 with Alexa but I think there is a simpler way.
If you have an X-10 IR interface similar to this one

You can use a Logitech Harmony Hub to send IR commands to it. Since the Hub is controlled by their app and Alexa skill you should be able to make it work without too much hassle. Logitech should have the X-10 IR codes in their database.
If you get the Hub extender you can transition away from X-10.
