I have no idea if it's state-of-the-art, but terrain erosion algorithms produce some nice results imo, and they're pretty interesting too. https://github.com/dandrino/terrain-erosion-3-ways

I've been eyeing hydraulic erosion too - have you seen this repo? The third method listed there could work without sacrificing too much generation time. There's also this but it's in GDScript so probably pretty slow. Ideally, you would probably do the erosion in a compute shader. Haven't tried it though!

In the Eulerian approach, I did something like the first approach in Dandrino's "Terrain Erosion Three Ways". The algorithm is a loop of:

You're right that simulation is a great way to get more believable landscapes. Check out for example this demo video of a similar terrain generator that simulates erosion in a second step, or this technical overview of some ways to do that efficiently.

A GitHub project that covers the variety in a nice simple compact manner.
