You've done a lot of things right. Putting the majority of your money into ETFs and picking up a few good dividend stocks on the side is a strong strategy in my view. The best example of this is Allianz. Stable dividend growth and it's nice that you own individual stocks from Germany.
What I don't like is waiting a whole year for the dividend. That's just not my thing.
I also have TDIV in my portfolio. It delivers really well. Precisely because the USA share is relatively low, and the ETF generates solid profits and is also growing in terms of dividends.
I wanted Main Street Capital for a long time and at some point I just took the plunge. It has paid off. 16 distributions a year is really something special. And MAIN is one of the few BDCs that has even increased the base dividend. I would definitely keep MAIN in the savings plan
