Mini for the Mac mini this month.
I took the default iPad mini wallpaper, upscaled it and did several touch ups / edits to get it looking good at up to 6k. I also messed around with the layout a bit, so that the 'mini' is horizontal rather than vertical.

'Tis spooky season so I must follow tradition.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are you using to do the text/time in the center of your desktop, and the smaller transparent calendar in the bottom right?
This desktop wallpaper is insane. I love it. Any chance you have a link to the full thing?
Macintosh - Dynamic, as always

I am using Üebersicht it is a FOSS app used to build desktop widgets using JavaScript, CoffeeScript, etc.
The clock widget is mine ubersicht-clock you can customize however you like, the font is Space Ship, but it looks funky now since macOS 15 if I recall, and have not find a good replacement. (I was planning on having the same experience as the (Momentum web extension), but did not move forward with it since I spend almost 5 years without a Mac.
Here is the calendar ubersicht-calendar also customizable
You will find the instructions in both the app & widgets README.md on each repository.
Be aware that since Apple announced the widgets system, this is no longer the go to, and most widgets are outdated, but I personally still prefer it.
When I saw your screenshot, my mind immediately went to the GeekTool app from several (many?) years ago. I believe that it, too, has been abandoned.
I haven't found the right autumn wallpaper so for now I'm just partying like it's 2005 with a modernized Tiger background.

I am always concerned about wallpaper sites as "malformed" images can result in issues on the device they are downloaded device as show by CVE entries and Apple security fixes. Are there any reputable sites out there (including this one)? If so, what's the best way to verify if they are reputable?
Üebersicht still works fine, I do not think an update is necessary, however, it is the widget makers that no longer update they widgets, There are new widgets on the site.
Users now prefer the native widgets.
