The TR6s would be perfect if it did step microshifting, the only thing it lacks (as does the TR8s). The MC101 groovebox has it, as does the MC707. Microshifting can make a big difference to overall swing and groove. The Roland T8 is not listed here, which isn’t a bad 606/303 combo with sidechaining and effects, definitely worth a look as well

The Volca Drum deserves a mention. It’s a pretty capable little beast for not much money.

You have also forgotten about the Uno Drum. An analog-digital hybrid for 200 bucks. Later firmware versions addressed most of the issues that a lot of reviews had. I’m quite happy with the machine. Custom sound banks are available, too.

We have featured them here before: https://www.gearnews.com/the-best-pocket-synths-for-getting-creative-on-the-go/

However, this post is more focused on more traditional style drum machines.
