Is there anything else I can do?
Or would it work to use a plain mixer shower, but with some kind of
stand-alone pump on the hot side only?

Yes. Stuart Turner shower pump. Other makes are available but not often
recommended.

Also Watermill and Salamander and main brands and quoted as being
quieter. See db ratings, but many people complain about Stuart Turner
pumps being noisey.

Actually, if it's in the basement of a moderately tall house, you might
have enough head on the hot, if your mains isn't too strong, for it to
be in near enough balance for a proper thermostatic mixer.
