The short answer

Buy the G430 irons, 5 to PW if you want the newer design (2023), you need help getting the ball in the air.

Buy the JPX923 Hot Metal, 5 to PW if you want to spend less (older models sell for much less used), you already hit it high and want a flatter flight.

Both sell used for well under their launch prices ($1,050 and $1,000). Live used prices are coming soon; until then, use the shop links to see what each costs today.
