+ 1 for 2024
You're filtering options have definitely got better this year because you're intelligently applying them at least the time signature feels and tempo range.
A low hanging fruit would be to also automatically assign the genre (sense you already know it once the style is picked) narrowing down the selections for your next steps. This could easily be done in the next patch release.

You have a lot of competitors who have tried to solve this problem of the quickest way to find of something very specific in a large database.
Toontracks, XLN Addictive products, Captain Chords, and many sample libraries have all come up with very intuitive or highly organized methods that have beaten pure hierarchical approaches.

Here's a clue the customer knows what he wants because he can hear it in his head.
For rhythms that's a match a beat approach.
For rhythmic instruments that have pitch or melody, Genre is the first place to start.

You've also done a very good job of categorizing your instruments over the years and 9 times out of 10 the customer is looking for an alternative to for instance a Bass or a Guitar or a Saxophone, so preloading the instrument category is going to put them in a range of less than fifty things to view.

All food for thought.
You don't have to go out and reinvent the world to make it at least 2X better than it currently in the next patch release.
