Man, multiple treasures on that page alone that I'd like to drop into an adventure. Very excited about this book.
OSR The Monster Overhaul (now including The Treasure Overhaul)

Yeah, it's looking like exactly what I want/need. I picked up the Encyclopedia Magica 2E books a while back as a source of treasure for my games because there's such a mixed bag of items, but I think I'll easily be able to replace them with this book. Same thing happened where I replaced literally all of my monster books with The Monster Overhaul and never looked back.

The cursed Cloak of Bullfighting is hilarious. A red cloak you can't take off, makes beasts attack you first and gives them advantage on attacks is so simple and obvious in retrospect. And the players will groan and laugh when they realize what it is.

Yep! I would guess it's hitting crowdfunding early next year, based on how much stuff we're now seeing from it.

At the moment, I think it'd be really easy to slide them into Shadowdark as just an alternative spell list for wizards, removing or modifying the ones that allow seeing in the dark, of course.

“It’s probably Matt Mercer’s fault.”
How much of Monster Overhaul is system specific, e.g. monster stat blocks, versus generic content?
I think a quick picture would help you, since "generic" (system neutral) is pretty relative. I consider OSR/1e content pretty generic and applicable to any system, very easy to build a 5e etc. version of.
So much of this book is tables, which are completely system-neutral.
Now I am curious, where does it rate for you on that scale?
