PF2e does a surprisingly good job at both unequaling the odds with it's degrees of success mechanic and making class and level a much more flexible system through feats, but probably not to the degree you're wanting, and I can't argue with the rest.
Delta Green isn't a perfect fit for your requirements as it uses a single die, but it's degrees of success system also unequals the odds, so it might still work for you. VtM and it's relatives are probably a better fit, but I personally find them a bit melodramatic. I've found it pretty easy to find a VtM group by hanging around Goths, but haven't had any luck with Delta Green yet.

    I had a really fun game of Vampire back in like 2016. I'd love to have another go at that, or Mage. The dice pool system always felt simple but exciting. Characters started out competent and being able to buy individual skills or powers was more satisfying than waiting for whole levels.

    I've heard good things about Delta green, but never looked into it.

    Alas, my college days where "hey you look nerdy you wanna play vampire?" are long gone.
