"Have you personally used any of the latest batch of even smaller local models?"

No I have not, which is why I asked (it wasn't a rhetorical question). Do you have pointers on what the recent improvements are?

Try qwen 3.6 models with hermes and see for yourself. 27b is excellent and 35b is very good for basic agentic tasks.
