Certainly understand that.???
Sometimes I like to play around with House Rule ideas. It's pretty disheartening to have someone tell you that 5e isn't for you because you like to make house rules.
If you are looking for ideas though, I can say that PF2e does have some implementations that would be relevant. A few classes have access to special attacks with effects that still trigger on a miss (but not a crit miss).
These are usually balanced by the fact that the attacks have an accuracy penalty, and that the system has a different action economy generally with respect to attacks. It is also a system where weapon combat is just more interesting as a whole (at the cost of significant complexity).
A lot of stuff i probably too baked into the system to be worthwhile, but it's probably worth taking a look.
