Deadlift
Ab wheel
Windmill
Those hit 100% of core muscles as long as you do stomach vacuums on one of them. I'd do it with ab wheel.
You don't need more exercises, you need more reps and weight with the ones you have.

Dragon flags, windshield wipers, planks, chopping wood, heavy compounds in general, leg raises...all of these are solid ab workouts some of them are not easy at all.

Squats with your core braced.
Deadlifts with your core braced.
OHP with your core braced.
Planks.
Anything else is not necessary.

Just a question outside of thread, are loaded planks safe/effective, even with a braced core, etc?

Squats and Deadlift
Squats and Deadlift work core and legs. Get used to lots of those.
