What is the best inpainting model for photorealism

I’ve noticed over the last year or so that the image2image scene has been dominated by full image edit models like Qwen, Kontext, Klein. I still prefer to do traditional mask based inpainting instead of feeding the whole image into the model and it changing every pixel. I’ve been using sd1.5 and sdxl models for this, but you can tell they are getting old. Skin looks kind of plasticy, hands look like sd hands obviously.
