“The probe will touch-down in the Alpha Regio mountains but is not required to operate once it lands, as all of the required science data will be taken before reaching the surface.” said Stephanie Getty, deputy principal investigator from Goddard. “If we survive the touchdown at about 25 miles per hour (12 meters/second), we could have up to 17-18 minutes of operations on the surface under ideal conditions.”
DAVINCI is tentatively scheduled to launch June 2029 and enter the Venusian atmosphere in June 2031.

A simple Google Search yields Planned missions to Venus.
There are 6 planned for the next 9 years.
By the way, Venera 13 remained operational for over 2 hours on the surface of Venus.

I thought they'd have some way of floating like weather balloons with powerful enough sensors to get a lot of data. I am very much not a scientist.

Not that I know of. It's really hot. I have heard of proposals for simple mechanical computerless rovers, I think from Veritasium
