Starting role as MAC admin
In the non-MDM tool space, look into Munki https://www.munki.org/munki/

Sonoma's log gets briefer and more secretive
this experience is an indication that the opco didn't hire the right expertise. If the numbers you quoted ie 30k desktops, 50k total were not macs, it's clear that the org didn't have the kind of mac experience needed to manage a a new org with all macs.
It's entirely possible for administration of macs.
Start networking/asking around with places like Disney or Pixar, etc which have a large amount of graphic artists using macs. For example, from Disney https://github.com/munki/munki gets you to a certain point.
Other tools like Kandji (lightweight) and the 900 lb gorilla in the industry Jamf gets you the other management / administration bits needed
If this opco that you referred to never got a Jamf rep to work with them and to try out their (yes, very expensive) products, then this is mostly inexperience with the mac ecosystem.

Show HN: Applite – Clean Homebrew front end app for macOS built with SwiftUI
There's a decent open source option: https://github.com/munki/munki
I got to use it at work at Meta (as end user), and it seemed to work quite well. They delivered Android SDKs/IDEs and a bunch of other things that I'd personally install through Brew with Munki.
- Employee monitoring softwares
- Simple App to help Mac Admins

Boss refuses all MDMs. Any way to automate or script deployment?
Munki is not an MDM and I recently learned there's this project called Installomator that might help.

Cannot get Munki Managed Software Center to populate with my catalog?
This is a feature of munki called default manifest resolution. Though I prefer to avoid this and explicitly set the client identifier for all devices.
- I have this old G4 cube. It has an interesting decal on it.

Looking up for some projects ideas in BASH
If you have access to a Mac, Installomator is a good encapsulation of shell scripting.

Jamf School & Google Chrome
I used to use something like the above script but switched to using Installomator for all apps we use that it supports. It can do the initial install as a push or from Self Service, and then you can set it up to patch software as well. https://github.com/Installomator/Installomator

Which policies, profiles, scripts, apps and packages do you consider must-have?
If you want to make things easy for your users and yourself, take a look at Installomator. It'll unlock a lot of nice workflows for your users, since you could put a specific title's install action available in Self Service and thats always gonna be easier than trying to track down the vendor's URL and finding the right download. It also means you don't have to repackage anything.

MuseScore deployment in JAMF on MacOS
Looks like you’re trying to update/work with version 4 but the installomator version is still on version 3. I’d suggest using build a label for musescore4
