I’ve been trying to find new explosion effects other than the classic 4 (pyro pool, sapper, 2colo, muzzle flash), that work on sv_pure servers and obviously reduce the explosions, however no luck so far.
I am going to keep digging but wanted to also pop a post here incase someone has gotten their hands on some nice alt explosion effects.
I am looking for something that reduces the effect down to like 50-30% from its original effect. I personally cant play with the classic old effects that reduce the explosions down to all most nothingness as it makes me loose 10ad and loose all feel for the rockets. I’m thinking that surely new effects have come out since the 5 years or so when the old effects were introduced.
Cheers.

mvm_tank_destroy is a personal favourite but check https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_TF2_Particles and test
i did test a lot of them a while back, 99% unusable - either dont work or are permanent

iirc the blood particles were neat and do work as intended, but those will be too small for you

yes that's the list + i used this one aswell https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=127111
bday_baloon(s) also work and you can try eotl_ effects, since pyro_pool is used widely, so the others may also work
rule of thumb is to stay away from unusual effs, anything alien-like or effects that are meant to be played on repeat (candle flame, or flames in general)

gonna necro because i went through most of these particles recently and found the few usable ones for anyone interested.
"versus_door_slam"
sparks and a little smoke. looks like a regular explosion without the initial flash. can be a little bit hard to see at times.
"crate_drop"
puff of smoke with some debris. animation lingers a few frames too long so i am not a fan but it looks neat.
"mvm_loot_coreflash"
this is my second favorite. white flash that looks a bit like the sunbeams unusual effect. very non-distracting but still looks like an explosion.
"mvm_loot_explosion"
cool explosion effect with white smoke and sparks but definitely larger than regular explosions and a bit harder to see through
"taunt_demo_nuke_explosion_flash"
looks like the default explosion flash with no debris or smoke. rather nice.
"taunt_demo_nuke_explosion"
my personal favorite. small orange explosion with no debris or smoke. about 60% the size of default explosions.
"merasmus_bomb_explosion_blast"
cool looking explosion but it is green so it looks funny.
the default explosions are too distracting for me in DX9, (fine in DX8) but the spy sapper effects and other small explosion options just look bad in my opinion so if anyone has other effects they like let me know pls. these were the best i could find.

did a quick video to demonstrate these as some of them could be decent to use

Some others that are possibly notable.
projectile_fireball
projectile_fireball_crit_blue
projectile_fireball_crit_red -dragon's fury explosions (semi-fps expensive someone mentioned)
repair_claw_heal_blue3
repair_claw_heal_red3 - small team colored, more saturated than "explosions2color"
tada_sparklebits - Decent sized sparkle "explosion"
dxhr_arm_muzzleflash
dxhr_lightningball_hit_red
dxhr_lightningball_hit_blue - Small electric fizzle. Yellow, red, and blue
snow_steppuff_mist - Steaming cloud, visibility issues, Dx8 only I'd say
merasmus_dazed_blood Pretty similar to the pumpkin bombs explosion but green
Blood explosions-
tfc_sniper_mist - Classic Headshot

env_sawblood_mist
"I guess bro" section-
highfive_red_old
highfive_blue_old - Literally just the old high five png
medic_resist_match_blast
medic_resist_match_blast_blue - yes its the vaccinator bubble
drg_cow_explosion_coreflash
drg_cow_explosion_coreflash_blue - I guess if you want the cow mangler explosions on stock for some fucking reason
