Probably the companies and the teams you've worked for are/were uninspiring, and to be honest, from my experience MOST companies and teams are uninspiring ... I've only came across a pitiful few which aren't, which are passionate or have energy or a vibe or whatever - if you can find one of those, then yeah ...
Maybe it's because until now you've worked for these 'corporate' grey suite type of companies, and a "younger" startup would be able to give you the environment and the enthusiasm that you missed.
P.S. putting it more simply - shouldn't you try to join a smaller startup, instead of these 'corporate' kind of companies ... I know that the "corporates" are where most of the jobs and money are (as they're still running a large part of the economy), but a smaller, younger startup probably has much more room for individual creativity and initiatives.
Yes I do agree that with startups there's more room for creativity. I've been in a startup-y type company and it was definitely fun. Winning a hackathon was cool. I had different types of problems in that company though 😂

But, by all means, do pursue those side projects!
