Took me a few months but finally have my MM version of our old DAKboard up and running how I want it:

Modules:
Wallberry Theme (to mimic DAKboard’s style as closely as possible)
MMM-MonthlyCalendar (displaying our shared Google family calendar)
MMM-HomeAssistant (for screen auto-on/off based off HA movement detection)
MMM-BackgroundSlideshow (pulling top-rated photos from my Synology NAS)
