I'm always for more occult content, but have resorted to finding it in the little things whenever there's not a new life state on the horizon. This is something I started doing while I was desperately waiting for witches and constantly playing as "fake witches" who would use voodoo dolls, science potions, Selvadoradian artefacts and other pre-existing borderline supernatural features to emulate magic.
It may be less obvious nowadays because not every EP comes with a new occult life state as they did in TS2, but there's actually a surprising amount of supernatural content to be discovered even in many of the so-called realism packs. Bust the Dust was expected to be realistic by giving players more household chores, but real dust bunnies don't give you money. And now look at what the golden and evil chickens can do in Cottage Living.
We haven't had a new occult life state since 2019 (unless you count DU's servos), but we got three in that year alone: mother plant zombies, mermaids, and spellcasters. Granted, the former two don't hold a candle to the latter in terms of gameplay and depth, but it's something that I as an occult player enjoy. So I'm not really sure how to answer the question of this thread. As I said, I always want more occult content, but at the same time I think there's already much more of it in the game than even occult players realise...
