You haven't missed much. Modern DnD (5e) is safe narrative like if you watched Disney while expecting Burton's imagination.

ODD variances, PathFinder and coming back to 2e plus customization of rules (like Player's Options that basically create 3e feeling) can keep you busy with DnD until end of your life.. you just need to find bargain prices as books can be expensive or buy PDFs and self-print and bind them (which is my way).

I'd totally skip D&D to other variances of similar rules but I have huge sentiment to it's old worlds and narrative that WOTC desperately wants to keep nice and friendly and politically correct to match current WOKE generation of people who seek racism, sexism and other injustice in its past fantasies.
