Usagi Drop ends with the daughter and parent marrying, so theres some child grooming there and I wouldn't recommend watching it without letting people know to ignore the ending at least.
The anime doesn't have any of that. Also I've actually read the second part of the manga and while it wasn't especially good, it wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
What kind of shows do you like?
Monster - psychological crime thriller
Planetes - sci-fi drama about space garbage people
Usagi Drop - wholesome slice of life drama about parenthood
In This Corner of the World - slice of life war drama
Mushishi - episodic fantasy drama surrounding interactions between humans and spirit-like natural organisms
Legend of the Galactic Heroes - epic space opera
Nodame Cantabile - classical music romcom
Ghibli movies have universal appeal and are all pretty good (except Tales from Earthsea). A lesser known one that is more for adults is Only Yesterday

not in the anime
That does not happen in the anime which only adapted the first part of the manga. Also spoilers.
"There's weird weeaboo incest shit" is the kind of thing that should be spoiled in big block text on the front of the packaging.

Whoa, you’re my anime taste twin; those are all my faves! What else do you recommend to someone who bailed on anime in like 2011?
Ayyy. I went with the critically acclaimed or at least generally well-regarded ones that are geared towards adults and have no fanservice.
For recs after 2011 in the same vein:
SoL/Comedy - Barakamon, Rilakkuma and Kaoru (not typical anime style but it's good and definitely geared more towards adults than kids)
Psychological Thriller - Death Parade
Historical Drama - Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
Sports - Run with the Wind (haven't seen it but folks whose opinions I trust tell me it's good)
Action/Adventure - Golden Kamuy, Dorohedoro, Legend of Hei (donghua technically)
Mushishi is good and soft and cozy.
