How to package manager?
Well, check ‘scratchpkg’, a package manager written posix shell script, was written for LFS system, then become main package manager for an independent source based distribution.

Is there a distro that's similar to Alpine but with more packages?
If you don't like anything Arch based, I can suggest Venom Linux. Initially it's going to be a tough ride, but it'll definitely teach you Linux. Yes, it's rolling release. It also adheres to the POSIX standard. There is no sign of systemd to be found, not even elogind. It uses a bsd-like init system.
