Maybe consider keeping some of your pantry stuff elsewhere? Eg, my inlaws have a breakfast cupboard near their breakfast bar, and we keep our tea and coffee stuff in the same cupboard as our mugs, over the kettle, so it's all in one place (except the milk).
Appliances you use once a month don't need to live in the kitchen really - doesn't kill me to go to the hallway cupboard to get the waffle maker twice a year.
Something I want to do (might need to reinforce the pantry door hinges though) is put racks on the inside of the doors as well, so smaller things like essences, half used small packets, sachets of stuff, matches, whatever can go there.
If you can afford Tupperware I'd consider it (those pantry parties make me jealous lol) because that's my favourite storage too, it just stacks really nice. Even though pretty much every seal colour I choose ends up getting phased out.

I feel your pain though, pantry organisation feels so good when you get it right and a bit manic when it's all wrong. Our pantry is just really deep so yeah. Who knows what's in there…
