I think the game could benefit from a few small added buildings. I don't even think these would need many (if any) new items to make them possible to realize.
School: I know this is a pretty common request, but I think a 1-room schoolhouse would be a nice addition to Pelican Town. The building could either go near the playground by the community center or in Cindersap forest and would make Penny's role as a teacher a lot nicer. I think making it part of a heart event for Penny but making it take a lot of hardwood and other materials for Robin to build with would be nice.
Aquarium: I think the fish in game could be a lot cooler if there was a place to show them off for the villagers. I think an aquarium on the beach would be a nice addition that wouldn't take up any space in town. Donating one of each fish could be an achievement as well. This could take some hardwood like the other buildings I'm suggesting, but I think Lewis, Willy and Robin could work on it on their own as well since the farmer is already doing so much by donating the fish? Maybe just a financial donation to get it built would give some variety since most players are anti-Joja.
Temple: I know this is a stretch since the game veered away from the Yoba stuff (and even Yoba was a recycled name from Wumbus World. You can't hide from me, Eric.)
I feel like adding a place for anyone in or outside the town to worship or pray would add a lot to the game. The farmer could build this as well and I think it could go in Cindersap Forest. There could be separate rooms for worshipping Yoba, the dwarf king, the shadow person deity, and maybe even a junimo deity and goblin deity. Alternatively, a temple and shrine to each could be built in different places around the valley (junimos in the secret woods, dwarves and goblins in the mines, shadow people in an underground temple connected to the sewers, and Yoba either in town between Clint's and Joja or in Cindersap forest.
Pierre could have a cutscene complaining about needing the altar room for storage when you get set on the temple quest, then each additional temple or altar in the temple could be unlocked with a cutscene with Krobus, the dwarf, the goblin, etc. Praying at (or just interacting with) each altar could also give a daily buff to the farmer, like the blessing and dwarf king statues already do.
I really think these would add a lot to the game and give the townsfolk more to do. The temple/temples would probably be the most labor-intensive, and arguably the furthest from the current vibe of the game, but I feel like just doing something nice for Krobus by giving him somewhere to pray on Fridays or helping Pierre out since he needs the space would make it feel a lot more like regular SDV quests.
