I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

I mean I absolutely adore mistborn but I don't see why you would need to read it before stormlight... certainly won't hurt because it's a pretty good series but the connections are very few and exceptionally far between. I didn't even recognize any connections at all until I read some post pointing out like a single sentence here and there that mentions a character or a vague reference to a place or event that might be from mistborn

I think it is more to understand the laws of the Cosmere more. Like investiture and how gods work and etc.

I agree actual story wise there isn't a lot to gain, but I just want to understand the Cosmere before continuing Stormlight and potentially missing things because I don't know better yet
