Thank you for this list. It's ironic that I've seen so many "Awesome.. curated" lists but this is the first one I really want to go through.
The few "awesome" (and "are we X yet") lists I've seen/contributed to were terrible; they have a very low barrier to entrance, and a very high barrier to exit - which made them nothing more than landfills, essentially. I think the valuable lists are personal ones.
I've had pretty good experiences with "awesome lists", usually if the topic is language or framework and I just want a concise list of mature things related to topic. Other examples I've personally enjoyed:

https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

https://github.com/255kb/stack-on-a-budget

https://github.com/cloudcommunity/Cloud-Free-Tier-Comparison

I instantly found things in your list that will solve issues with some side projects and allow me to get them up and running.

A big thanks

This is great... thanks for sharing.
