Looking for M-Tech alternative for modern MC versions

Hi, I'm looking for some good tech modpack to setup a server for my friends. I was almost settled on M-Tech which I like, but it just not up to date anymore. I like about M-Tech that each tech mod was gated behind another, some limitations (like infinite lava pools needed to be much bigger) and recipe changing (like you need diamond for each drill, making it not so easy to make auto drill machines)

My requirements are:

Create 0.6
little to no magic mods
automatization is not required, just recommended
Modern MC, ideally 1.21.1

So could you guys recommend me something else that fills that bill?

After a YouTube tutorial and an entire ecosystem torn down, my first large build in my modded Forever World is finally complete. (First big survival build of my life)

Does anyone know what happened to Thaumcraft and its dev?

Thaumcraft has been discontinued for a while (which makes me sad, but this isn't a complaint post about that), and I heard a rumour that the dev quit making Minecraft mods to pursue making a full-sized game that's essentially Thaumcraft, the game.

I can't, however, find anything on that. I can't find anything on the dev or what they're doing, if they worked on anything else, etc.

Does anyone have any (verifiable) information?
