a good place for inspiration for expanding thri-kreen lore is hive from kenshi hive are more ant like and only have 2 arms than thri-kreen, having a hivemind like connection where they all work together under their hive queens and princes. individual hive may end up separated from the hive bother physically and mentally, resulting in them becoming more individual, wondering the wastelands of kenshi for new purpose, such as the famous "beep" who strives to become "strongest there is" for thri-kreen they already have a tendency for psionic, perhaps they all small amount but only some are strong enough to have noticeable powers. those with stronger psionic abilities could connect their minds to the other thri-kreen, acting as psionic relays to give orders and make the thri-kreen more organized both in work and combat. the queen/royal family could have vast psionic power allowing them to connect and control their kingdom, similar to an elder brain with mind flayers. both the mind flayers and thri-kreen would have induvial intelligence but be connected in a hive mind. those thri-kreen with stronger psionics may have more individuality and express more emotion (just like in thri-kreen lore) this could flesh out tri-kreen as more than just small tribes to a whole kingdom and society (with smaller groups being hunting parties or the usual nomads of sandard lore those thri-kreen that are separated from their hive may become invisuals and or lost just like the hive, seeking new purpose, such as possibly becoming player characters

only one consideration: being insectoids with poisons of the paralyzing type, they may not want to kill the prey immediately, but poison them and keep it paralyzed to consume it still fresh afterwards

funny thing about Thri-kreen as a player race is they're classified as Monstrosities, not humanoids meaning PC thri-kreen are more "monsterous" than npc thri-kreen., I hypothesize this may be due to thri-kreen of spelljammer having a different origin than those of the forgtten realm, their psionic abilities, or mixture of both. or simply to show theyre more strange than other player character races, just like the plasmoid (ooze) and autognome (construct) also in the spelljammer book
