    Is it time for a low-magic setting?

    Voted No...but... Another possibility for a low/medium magic setting is the Wilderlands setting from Necromancer Games/Judges Guild. It's pretty crunchy with lots of potential to go any direction you want. Originally (when it was released in the 1980's) it had a science and sorcery mix to it...
