This has yet to be the most complete mod about Doom bestiary that compiles most monsters ever.
Say, Realm667 has updated its repository with a few new monsters, do you plan to add them?

Re: VDP-MonsterRandomizer UPDATED September 1, 2022
I like this mod, but sometimes I wish it would provoke less of a clusterfuck in the gameplay itself.
What I wish is that there was a way to make "stable" enemy replacements per level. This is, when the game loads a new level, a replacement monster is chosen for every enemy. For imp, the imp replacement #5, for zombie shotgun guy, soldier replacement #3, for the Cacodemon, Caco replacement #6 (of the pool of possible Cacodemon replacements). Etc. So all Cacos in that level will be the same (new) enemy, instead of the current crazy menagerie.

I don't think that would work well, some variants are weaker or much stronger (rare), so it would just be terrible on unlucky spawns. To each their own, but for me what makes it great is the unknown factor. It can make each run feel different, and if you load a save the same variants are loaded, so it gives each map a personality or flavor. I feel like it would defeat the entire purpose and spirit of this mod. It's not what you're asking for, but maybe just make the spawns to be more rare?
This is by far my favorite mod, I can't play without it. Is there a weapon mod that does the same type of randomness? Like it has 100s of weapons and each run a different set is chosen, or even better random weapon characteristics.
My only wish is that there are very very rare super strong variants, but everything is so polished and thoughtful I wouldn't want to mess it up trying it myself.

Hey, I know it’s been some time since this has been updated but this is my favorite randomizer mod so far, it works well with just about any weapon mod and spices things up a bit! Looking forward to more stuff (if there will be) being added!
Re: VDP-MonsterRandomizer UPDATED September 1, 2022
Will you still be updating your wonderful randomizer? Nasties such as the Cryobus, Frozen Elementals and Cyber Satyr and a few more have been released. This has to be one of the best Randomizers i have. Ive used it for years and finally decided to register on Zdoom just to ask. Thank You!!
