While not using d20 Modern currently as my players and I have found we prefer WOIN: NOW for the modern day covert action game I'm running, I always loved the "Moreaux" concept in their Friends & Foes chapter, so much so that I worked it into the current campaign.

I did try to run a d20 Modern version of the old Top Secret module 002 (Lady In Distress) module that I converted, but I was a very noob GM back then and it didn't go so well. I think the conversion was fine, but my running of it was not. We also tried Spycraft 1.0 and 2.0, but while I liked it, my crunch-averse players did not.

On the whole, my players and I like the dice pool mechanic and the dice probability curves that come from a dice pool over a single d20 roll. I've seen the 2d20 alternative rule stuff, but we prefer throwing a bunch of d6s. I only wish WOIN:NOW had better support on Roll20....
 

People keep mentioning 3PP Modern books for 5e. Do you have links? Thanks.
There are at least two that completed Kickstarters recently:
There's also, this, which is more pulp-based, but could be used for modern or modern-ish games:


I've received the final PDF as a backer, so it should be out soon.
