So what do you do when you need a modern transistor curve tracer?

Why would one want to use a curve tracer in 2023?

Because analog electronics is still relevant and every idiot can count to one

Out of stock at Circuit Specialists, expected delivery April 2023.
I hope it works better than the English translation of the specifications and features on the Circuit Specialists website.

For characterising semiconductor materials and processes (and parts). Specialized stand-alone devices still exist (like the Keysight B1500A) but getting a few SMUs may be cheaper and more versatile depending on what exactly you are doing.

Here's a fairly comprehensive review of the CSI4810A/CA-4810A curve tracer: https://www.angelfire.com/electronic/funwithtubes/curve_tracer.html

Unfortunately for OP, even if this were still available, it's a completely analog unit with no storage or interface.

Here's the manual: http://www.madelltech.com/curvetracer.pdf

That's a bold statement.  Can you name even one that is a standalone unit, not an SMU?  (I don't think the above mentioned Keysight B1500A counts, since it's an SMU system in a box, and I also think OP doesn't want to spend $86K+.)
