I'll add a few that I enjoy

Flying Witch - A witch goes to live in the countryside with her relatives as part of her training. Lovely world-building.

Girls' Last Tour - Two girls on a journey through a gigantic post-apocalyptic city. The setting is quite bleak but the story mostly focuses on how the main characters are finding joy in their world.

Aria - The daily lives of apprentice gondoliers in Neo-Venezia, a replica of Venice built on a terraformed Mars.

The manga and anime for all of these are available legally in English. Unfortunately you may have to jump through some hoops if you want to acquire their OSTs, which is a shame because they're all excellent.

You might also enjoy YKK (Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou)[0][1], particularly the manga version, which was my introduction to the genre of slice-of-life years before the Aria seasons (which are absolutely lovely and with a great OST indeed)

Also a great guitar cover of Aria's "Rainbow"[2], most satisfying guitar tab I've had the chance to learn too.

Aria is realy nice and not well known - and that chapter/episode where they visit the onsen in an abandonned mansion that is flowing into the see - incredibly soothing & likely my favorite chapter/episode ever. :)
I'm also strongly suggest these three animes you suggested for iyashikei than moe. Other good stuff: Yuru Camp, Is the order a rabbit?, The helpful fox Senko-san, Nekopara
