My suggestion would be to go a bit more old school with the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG by Goodman Games. It's lighter than 5e and PF2e, but there's a fun magic system and martial characters also get some love through the improvisational Mighty Deeds of Arms mechanic. There's only one core book, but there's an incredible amount of adventure and setting support. The community is chill and welcoming.
