I agree.

I would give anything to feel a sense of wonder that I used to get when reading sci-fi in my youth.

But "can't enter the same river twice" and all that.

Who's writing good scifi these days which evoke that same sense of wonder? Project Hail Mary was a fun read but felt a bit too in the weeds with the details.

Gotta be Ted Chiang. Try his short story collection titled Exhalation: Stories.
