I use Dungeon Alchemist. Excellent for quick maps, though you will find yourself spending many hours making the perfect map for your situation from time to time. There's also constant free updates with huge additions to assets, biomes, QoL and so on, with a -huge- update due in a month or so. The community is great too; thousands of user-made assets and maps are available free on steam workshop. Devs are very active and take community requests and ideas well.

There has been a surge of map maker "games" on Steam. I am curious about them, as I was never the biggest fan of Inkarnate for city maps in particular. Has anyone tried some of them?

It is limited on it's ability to do angled or curved walls (or was last I used it). However it is pretty dang good at providing lighting and and ambience and making some very very fun maps.
