Struggling to find a lot of music with Lidarr (New/Recent/Modern). Have a few general public/private trackers set up but still not getting many hits. From what I gather Usenet isn't much better. And I'm not really confident in transcoding, bit rates, etc... to attempt an interview.

Basically what are my options? Is there something I'm missing or is music just getting harder to find?

Someone somewhere pointed me to Lidarr Extended which looks like it's been deprecated and moved to https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts/blob/main/lidarr/readme.md

I've got it set up, it works fantastically. The other important step is to get a Deezer ARL (there are various sources for this, or you can use your own, if you have one) and the accepts will crawl your Lidarr library every 15 minutes and download anything from Deezer that's available. It can also use Tidal or Qobuz, but credentials for those aren't as easy to come by as Deezer, and they all seem to have the same music available.

I second this but I use Lidarr on Steroids, as that's the one I could get working. I also chose to subscribe to Deezer for a month or two so I can download everything in lossless/FLAC using my own arl. Then I'll cancel it. After that I'll probably go to soulseek and manually download.
