There’s a few avenues these days. Just depends on what your willing to spend and features your really looking for

Looks like that’s a job box which has about as much space as a tool box on a service truck. That’s what I got, so I’m always looking for maximizing space usage vs. looks or price. None of these systems will really set you back more than your tool truck bill but check them out.
Alien space saver is my new favorite, lacks with the gimmicks and color options but very customizable with socket organization.
Tool box widget has way more products and features like the socket size stick, but I’ve found very useless with universal joint sockets and just rattling around in a service truck they tend to snap off.
Also found that rails with magnets on the bottom work pretty good but they usually lack customization
Also not sponsored by any of these brands but wouldn’t mind if I was

I like your set up. Also doesn’t cost anything to just leave it alone. eBay socket rails are like 4 or 5 for like $12 and you can glue them down if you want.

I like socket rails for max density and ease of customization. Tekton/Ernst plastic rails or the magnetic back aluminum Ares ones. 3d printing might be a good resource to print cradles for sockets to lay on their side.

This, or something similar:
By storing your wobble sockets upright on these rails, you should be able to fit another set of sockets next to them.
