examples of the kind I want to read are Scout by Warlord, Privateer by DeRat, that have some realism or hard SF elements and not totally way out stuff like Three Square Meals
or DB Story robots

In my opinion, what you are asking for can't exist.
Once you get into any level of FTL travel or self aware autonomous androids, you are outside the realm of hard SF.

I wouldn't say that the Swarm Universe qualifies as the kind of high realism hard science fiction the OP is asking for.
This may fit the bill

If you are okay with stories on kindle (unlimited) you should check out the April Series by Mackey Chandler, it's pretty hard SF using a late 21st century setting.

Does anyone know if there is or will be a third book?
"trilogy" implies that, but looking at the dates of the two existing books I have doubts.
Related question: Does book 2 end with a serious cliff-hanger?
HM.
According to the endnote of book 2, yes there will be a book three, but he had not written more than a couple of chapters at the time of writing that endnote.
Tne MC is not in any sort of peril at the end of book 2.
I recommend:
TJ & Morg
Science Fiction
by Green Dragon
another parallel story in that famous universe. Politics in a future galaxy leading to a war. Two descendants of genetically engineered soldiers establish themselves with friends in the conflict in a position to survive. Still no descriptive sex. Lust yes. Love perhaps. Mayhap even a future amid the scheming and conniving.
