Why not get the commercial? Many people who get their commercial have
no interest in flying for hire. The training is a lot fun, you will be
able to comfortably do certain flights that fall under the gray area
as a private pilot.

Like Cecil, I'm finishing up my IFR rating soon. That has me wondering
what's next. I don't have any desire or time to become a CFI, and I have no
intention of becoming a commercial pilot in any sense of the word. I've
thought that I might like to take a few lessons in a taildragger, but I'd
need to find a CFI and plane first. Very likely at a different and farther
airport than my usual.

So what's the usual choice for continuing to learn on a purely
learn-for-the-sake-of-learning after the IFR ticket?
