By and large I agree with your assessment and see no reason to overly recommend these years but hey, being the best band ever they could still inspire even in the shittiest of years.
I like 2-21-95 a LOT, especially set I
I like 3-27-93, especially the audience with the crowd singing word for word a spirited Casey Jones
I listened to a cool let it grow and spanish jam for 3-24-93 awhile back that's pretty cool
I like the giants stadium show from 92

Remember, besides heavy lifting, you have to stay in shape for the numerous pickup games that will occupy our time on the road with the Anal Retentives hit the trail.

Nice soundboard on this site. I rarely listen to post-Brent Dead, but when I do it's March 93. The Playing in the Band is like something from the 70s. For reals.

same thing here. theres nothing i like after 92-05-31. i listened to some post 92 shows but was totally unimpressed, so i gave up trying. its 68 > 91 for me (minus 84 > 86)
dont think anybody can show you the way for that era, coz there is no clear road. smr? it can only make u wanna cry.........and only pussies cry
dig? better move right back in time

1993: 5/16/93 - Las Vegas (tight but short 1st set and monumental second set. Sure Vince is a bit over the top in places but listen to Garcia on tunes like Althea, Franklin's, Looks Like Rain. Hell - every single song in this show is great - even the Elvis space!)
1994: 10/1/94 (as many have pointed out - this may be the boys last truly epic show. Every song is performed as if it were the last time they would every play it. Others in this post have stated that these years will make you cry. They are right - just play So Many Roads from this show - Garcia's vocals will send shivers up your spine and send you running for the tissues. If that makes me a pussy - oh well. I always kind of like pussies myself!)
1995: A mixed bag here. I would probably go with 3/23/95 or 6/30/95 as my top picks. However, I always felt that 3/23/95 had a weak first set (jamming Scarlet/Fire though!). 6/30/95 is more consistent throughtout and probably the last show played by the band that was good from start to finish. I too would love to have a soundboard of this show.
Many others to choose from. This should provide a good start. Also pay attention to reviews and postings from Stratocastor - a good judge of the era in my opinion.

check out:
6/14/92
1/24/93 (Black Peter!)
3/27/93
8/22/93
3/30/94
8/1/94
10/5/94
2/21/95
3/17/95
and for special consideration I nominate 9/24/94, which can be found under Phil and Friends. It's phil, bobby, jerry, and vince acoustic. It's beautiful.
have fun with 92-95. There's still a lot of good stuff there, but just don't expect your face to be melted.
