Are there any Warband mods out there with a decent progression and balance?

I haven't played too many total conversion mods for this game, but it feels like there aren't that many well balanced mods for warband. Native felt pretty well balanced and had a smooth progression curve, where you went from rags to riches without too much trouble. It had its troubles in progression, especially the endgame, but it looks like most total conversions for the game take things way too hardcore for my liking.

Some mods I enjoyed are:

Gekokujo: Daimyo Edition. The regular edition was cool, but it was as if every culture and faction used the same units. Daimyo changes that up a little bit, and the removal of shields made for a super interesting game.

Bannerpage. I've yet to try any other native plus mods, but this one was pretty fun to play with. It felt easier than the base game in many areas, but having more gameplay features kept my campaign interesting. If there are any other decent native plus mods do let me know.

Some mods I disliked:

Brytenwalda. I can appreciate the technical aspects of this mod, and the immersion is admirable. I also really like how customizable it is, but at the same time it really is pushing for a more hardcore difficulty from the start. Couldn't get into it.

Nova Aetas. I thought I'd enjoy this, but it has some really weird features. The filter on the game is ridiculous. The status effects/character traits are nonsensical at times.

1257 AD. Enhanced edition i believe. Spread too thin imo, you have to sacrifice some level of detail for such high scope and scale. Unit variety was quite disappointing. It ironically felt like a very dead world to me.

I know that my opinions aren't exactly mainstream, atleast from the reading I did on this sub. I'd like to hear your guys' thoughts and recommendations, I'm very open to other viewpoints.
