One more requirement I have I forgot to mention, though not very high importance, is a no-RGB case if possible. I could get RGB via fans, but the case itself should not have RGB if possible.

If the link doesn't work phanteks enthoo pro 2
I want to know if u are looking for something like this or something else.
12*3.5 bays and 11*2.5
Seems a bit overkill. Currently I have two 3.5'' drives and one SSD. I might buy one more SSD and HDD each later but perhaps not more. I think 4 3.5 bays and 4 2.5 bays should be enough.
I think something like this case suits you : www.vedantcomputers.com/pc-components/chassis/cabinet/lian-li-lancool-206-black-g99-lan206rx-in?sort=p.price&order=ASC
if you wanna go overboard with budget, can consider this one : www.vedantcomputers.com/pc-components/chassis/cabinet/lian-li-o11-vision-cabinet-black-g99-o11vx-in?sort=p.price&order=ASC
fans are extra in the second case i guess
I like the O11 more but the ~30 cm width makes it a bit too wide for my desktop setup. IO on the bottom is also a bit problematic since I like to keep my portable HDDs and other USB peripherals on top of the case. I might be able to make it work if I keep it at the edge of my table. Will have to think about it a bit more.
Also, all that glass is making me a bit nervous. Moving it around might be risky.
There's also coolermaster cm694 - 13k
And HAF XB II Evo - 11k
The CM694 does not look like it would support my GPU length. My current Corsair 300R has a gap in the drive bays for the GPU. Also the design looks a bit too old fashioned. The HAF XB II Evo does not look like a tower form factor.
Lancool III
4x 3.5" & 8x 2.5" together is pretty good
This looks good, though it appears to be a model from 2022. Are there any newer models worth considering?
