I’m an 06 wh*re and anything based on it. but your low recoil requirements. Anything based on the 308 case. Going for the KISS approach, tikka T3x SL and Probably the best all around would be 7-08mm, even the 6.5. CM is solid.
I also wouldn’t hesitate with 243 or 6 CM with modern bullets.
I have loaded down the 270 with 140s at 2800 and it was nice to shoot.
To me, Hot 270 doesn’t feel much different that a standard 06.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
