Quite a glowing endorsement.

I want to stab that "definition" function in the face.

Does anyone know of any non-WoTC 5e adventures that would work well as a follow-up to Lost Mine of Phandelver?

I myself have decided to go 100% homebrewed following the Lost Mine of Phandelver set of adventures.

I am also homebrewing all wilderness points beyond the map given with LMoP...I am just not enthusiastic about running a Forgotten Realms setting...

Just rating adventures isn't enough, they also need to be categorized. At least to differentiate between combat heavy / dungeon exploration ones and RP heavy ones. Of course full reviews are even better.

I don't know that we have quite enough 5e adventures to support separate lists of "best RP-heavy adventure", "best dungeon crawl adventures", etc. I think the field is small enough that I'd just like to know which adventures do a great job at what they set out to do. Before actually running anything, most DM's will do a little snooping for a more detailed review, or at least blurb, to see if the adventure hits the notes they want to hit.

I'm just really curious about some sort of consensus on "what's good here."

And yes, JeffB, I've been going your route, converting most of my adventures from other editions, or just doing my own homebrew. And certainly, there's enough TSR and OSR adventures to keep me going for a while, but there is value in adventures that are made specifically for 5e. Conversion is harder for people with less familiarity with the system (both target system and source system), especially at higher levels.
