Current state of 2D game code-first frameworks?
XNA re-implementation/extended support seems like a good idea. I'll look into it some more. I also want to share this list of libraries suggested to me for MonoGame support: https://github.com/aloisdeniel/awesome-monogame

Game engine for a 2D, top down, rogue like, pixel art game?
Fair warning, base Monogame leaves a lot to you to create yourself. It's technically a framework and not an engine (difference explained here). However, there are several extensions that add specific things you might want.

Tired of current language but scared to switch (sunken cost fallacy evaluation)
And as for replacing libraries, I obviously don't know what you've got going on, but there are a bunch of extensions to Monogame that add all sorts of stuff. Maybe there's something in the you can use to help you?

Unity’s New Pricing: A Wake-Up Call on the Importance of Open Source in Gaming
It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community.
Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects
And
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-al...
If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are and neither of these cover everything. There are plenty of engines popular in the Python community that no one outside of it are aware of. Such as Arcade [0], Python-Tcod [1], Ursina [2], UPBGE [3], and Panda3D [4]. But based on your description you'd really like https://gdevelop.io/. It embraces exactly what you're describing where you can build a game but just installing entire features others have made and put online into your game.
[0] Beginner friendly 2D library:
[1] Rougelike: https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
[2] Beginner friendly 3D engine (built on Panda3D): https://www.ursinaengine.org/

[4] Highly flexible code first 3D engine: https://panda3d.org/

Construct's New WebGPU Renderer
After they switched to a monthly/annual subscription fee with the release of construct 3, I pretty much threw in the towel and switched over to Gdevelop.
https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop
Open source, completely free, and I can run it as a native application on my computer versus a weird web app. The idea that my game is basically tied to a SaaS is just not OK for me.
- Suggestion for software please
