Once you're maxxed out on the amount you can shovel into either tax-deferred or tax-exempt accounts, you are maxxed out. just open a taxable account and snag one of the tax-efficient mutual funds.
if you want to pick the investments yourself, stick to muni's on the fixed income side, and if you're investing in ETFs, mutual funds, or individual equities, avoid short-term capital gains by not selling positions less than 12 months old.
when you're maxxed out, what matters is your investment strategy, because regardless of where you invest, you are going to pay taxes, so your investment strategy should prioritize tax-efficiency and given your age, capital preservation.
I-bonds can be practicable for some investors, however you must open an account directly at treasury (treasurydirect.gov), and you're limited to 10k.
ETA: if you're going to do any muni bonds, check your state's taxation of them. I think in OK, OK munis are OK income tax-exempt, however munis outside OK are taxable, but double check to be sure
if you're wanting a 5-9 year investment horizon, a muni-bond portfolio is probably most appropriate, without knowing anything else about your goals or risk tolerance. keep in mind, it's very unlikely the yields will keep up with these elevated inflation rates at the moment. so you may want to consider pairing a muni-bond portfolio with a high dividend yield equity strategy.
