I'm glad it's working well for you!

I'm not sure if you were aware, but starting in June 2021, they started to incorporate example sentences taken from the Tanaka Corpus into JMdict.

Oh, interesting! I was not aware of that, no.
In practice, I'm not sure how useful they would be for a reading-oriented dictionary, though. When reading, you already have an example sentence right there in the book. And I would worry both about it bloating the size of the dictionary file and making it harder to browse the definitions by making the entries longer.
But I'll keep it in mind anyway. It's probably something I could add as an option in the tool, so people can build their own custom dictionaries with the example sentences included if they like.

And pie-in-the-sky feature request: Merging in the JMnedict entries as well (I can't tell if they were reincorporated back into JMdict proper after the split).

Actually, that's already going to be in the next version of the dictionary, along with entries for individual kanji. I've been testing it out for a few weeks now, and it seems to work pretty well, so I'll probably be releasing that pretty soon. I'll post here when I do.
