Bonus points if you can outlevel the current encounters by grinding enough, and for turn-based games.

Any Disgaea. Max level of 9999, later games go further. I know in several you can go inside your weapons to level them up.
Pokémon. Any of them really. I’m partial to HeartGold/SoulSilver myself.
I find this hilarious because I’m also partial to that one! Thanks for the rec though, it’s definitely my fault for not mentioning already playing this in the post body ;)
Any JRPG would probably fit your bill to be honest. Played any Final Fantasies?
Surprisingly no! I have heard of the franchise but never actually touched it myself.
I think they’d be up your alley. Personally I love VI but it still firmly a pixel art retro game. I would probably say X might be a better starting point. It has aged extremely well (well, maybe not the voice acting).
If you are into the grind, I think Final Fantasy 5 might be the best one for you. The way the job system is allows you to grind job abilities that you can equip in different jobs and eventually make just absurdly powerful ability combos.
Warframe. Don’t spend any Platinum. Played that game for 2 years straight before I finally attained every gun, every frame, every pet, every skin.
CrossCode. Grinding is never necessary to progress, you can blitz through the main story if you want, but there are tons of sidequests to sink your teeth into. If you want to just let loose and farm, there’s a mechanic where killing enough consecutive enemies quickly triggers a state enemies respawn faster while dropping more loot (and cool music plays).
XCOM2 with Long War of the Chosen Mod.
Turn based, Grindy, Unforgiving.
