Custome game engine: what stack ?
Veldrid for graphics although I think SILK.net would also work well.

Efficient, cross-platform graphics library?
If you’re interested in C#, You could look into Veldrid. It is 3D however, so im not sure how easy it is to do 2D with it. ImGui.NET is a set of .NET bindings for Dear ImGui, which is one of the best immediate mode gui librarys out there imo. It has a canvas feature which allows you to draw 2D shapes via the gui renderer. Also, the creator of Veldrid and ImGui.NET has an example project for ImGui.NET using veldrid..

XNA vs FNA vs Monogame
Veldrid attempts to wrap several graphics api, directx11, metal, opengl, and vulkan. You would have to write most things from scratch but this lib will work cross platform. Probably not consoles though.

How do you manipulate individual pixels in C#?
Someone else suggested Veldrid for its OpenGL and Vulkan support. But if you want DirectX, note that Veldrid supports DirectX for Windows projects, and has recently switched from using SharpDX to Vortice behind the scenes.
To create a "Good" c# game with some modern graphics I would recommend utilizing a library like Veldrid https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid which lets you use openGL/Vulcan etc and can be used in dot net core to create cross platform compatible games.
