But my personal style/taste would require at least one other dirt pedal than what's already on your board. I'd need a versatile tricked out tonebender variant like the Clusterfuzz, or a tweakable superfuzz style pedal like the Buzzz or Necromancer. Never even messed with either of those last ones btw, my thrusty old FZ-2 does the trick for me. Not really into oscillating fuzzes anymore these days myself, but your board also seems to miss a more trippy fuzz like the fat fuzz factory or dwarfcraft great destroyer...
So I might end up just keeping the negative space for a little, see what I want more naturally... or get a bit quest haha. Can't find info on that Matthews chemist? I'll try googling again. Also might put on my baby thunder as was suggested for wanting one more dirt option. I saw a band last night that made some real magic happen with just a muff for dirt and it got me all inspired.
Found that the chemist hasn't launched yet. That explains it.

See but I already have the compressor, which feels excessive anyway. I mostly have it because of florist and self defense both use compressors, but I'm forever on the fence about it. Makes the guitar sound a little more piano-like, can't imagine what I would do with a second one.

If you feel that a compressor is excessive, than just replace it with this. The compression is very subtle with this, and it's true strength lies in the harmonic accenting and tone shaping. Between my Engineer's Thumb (which is no slouch in the compressor department) and this, the Guyatone will win that "last spot on the board" any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
I know it still leaves an open spot on your board (hence not solving the original premise of this thread), but hey... you just made things better in the process.

What about the new Iron Ether Divaricator? Three exciters in one. Seems much better option, though I'm not familiar with the voicing on this one.

CT5 if you're looking for something that can do odd, but can also be tamed if need be.
Bitquest if you want a fuzz plus a huge variety of other effects.
A dedicated EQ pedal at the end of your chain or a DI with eq options. I don't know how important this is to you, but it can make a dramatic difference for sure.
