Forcebreak mod to stop the ping and tape mod to make it sound a bit more lively.
Both mods are super easy to perform. All it requires is a bit of masking tape.
Maybe consider changing switches too. I think the Gateron Pros aren't the best when it comes to sound, at least the Gateron Pro Browns my Q3 came with weren't that great. I replaced them with Baby Kangaroos.

Hah, yeah, I wouldn't use the box jades + NCR80 combo around people. It's by far the loudest keyboard that I have.

Nah man, clicky switches all the way on this keyboard. I have box jades on my NCR80, and the way the hollow plastic case and the switches interact sounds fantastically old school.

Ah I missed that requirement.
Personally I don't really see the point of low profile keyboards, but the K-series by Keychron then.

Keychron V1 or V3, depending on your layout preference.

I've heard the EnduraPro keycaps should fit, but it seems they stopped selling it, and I can't find the keycaps for it on their store either.

With those pad printed keycaps, I can imagine. Does Unicomp have replacement caps for those?

Model M is completely its own thing. All the keycaps have the same profile, but the mounting plate is curved.

Haven't encountered it, though I've only ever modded my Q3 this way.
There may be tape where the adhesive is conductive, or that leaves a lot of residue, but with decent masking tape it should be no issue at all.
