I've mostly read "Consider Phlebas" but was unimpressed. Some ideas were great, but I had already absorbed them through "cultural osmosis". And sadly the space opera aspects ... bored me. I might be too old. Are subsequent novels for me?

Culture novels feel very Fukuyama end of history-ish in retrospect. The problems they addressed were very much the kind you would see in a theoretical utopia writing during the 90s. I like them quite a bit but they feel out of step now.

Very interesting! What would be missing from Culture series? I found Consider Phlebas quite prescient at times, but ... yeah maybe 10 years ago it would make me more impressed.
