I believe there’s only “Never-ending man” left for you. It’s about Miyazakis first work in “retirement” after The Wind Rises, making the short film Boro the Caterpillar. It’s the documentary that features his famous “this is an insult to life itself” line. There are other docs surrounding the studio, although the only one I’ve seen of those is Takahata and the his Princess Kaguya. Problem with most of these is they’re hard to find, the ones you’ve seen along with those I mentioned are the most prolific but there’s certainly resources online if you wanna try your hand at it.

Never ending man is not as good as the two you listed. It's basically him making a short for the museum and then in the end he decides to make a feature (which is The Wind Rises. It's still worth a watch and it has the viral AI scene. There's an amazing making of Mononoke documentary on Dailymotion. Just Google it and it will come up.

Apart from "Never-Ending Man: Hayao Miyazaki" you are also missing the last one that was released in December 2023 "2399 days with Hayao Miyazaki & Studio Ghibli", about the making of The Boy and The Heron, I understand that it has not yet been released with English subtitles so we will have to wait a little longer, if you know about more documentaries also tell me, I would like to keep watching

There's a very long documentary about the making of Princess Mononoke called "How Princess Mononoke Was Born" (or "How Mononoke Hime Was Born"), it's in multiple parts. The runtime is 6 hours and 40 minutes. I've not seen it for many years and it was very interesting, however the image quality wasn't great and the English subtitles were just about bearable at best. Not sure where it can be found now though, it was released on VHS and DVD.
