Some series that no one else has mentioned yet:

Demon Lord, Retry! R: Somehow the artwork and animation is managing to be even worse than that from the 2019 series—guys, at least try to keep the main character's hair length consistent, okay? Plus, 95% of what's been shown so far has been a recap of the earlier version. As of the end of the second episode, they are finally caught up. The bizarrely chosen ecchi material, while it doesn't make up any significant fraction of the runtime, is even more grating in the recap than the original. I found the original series amusing despite its many faults, so I'll stick with this one for a while, but in general I don't recommend it.

The Healer who was Banished from his Party etc.: Bog-standard protagonist-that-no-one-has-noticed-is-overpowered fantasy light novel schlock. Okay for turning your brain off, but otherwise don't bother.

Good-bye, Dragon Life: Bog-standard protagonist-hides-his-power fantasy light novel schlock so far. Another one suitable for turning one's brain off.

The Most Notorious "Talker" etc.: And for the hat trick, we have protagonist-wants-to-get-stronger fantasy light novel schlock. This one managed to get my attention slightly more than the others by ending the first ep. on a weak cliffhanger. I doubt it'll come to anything, but we'll see.

Trillion Game: Mixed feelings about this one, probably because I empathize a little too much with Gaku. Haru, on the other hand, seems like a slimeball despite attempts to depict him sympathetically. Haven't watched the second episode yet.

I'm still waiting on several other series. There seem to be an awful lot of late premieres this season.

Alright, I had thought the same thing, but wasn't sure if it was imagining it. There are still a handful of reasonably popular shows waiting on their premiere (Arifureta, Shangri-La Frontier, Dragon Ball Daima).
