What two official #dnd adventures, any edition, would make a GREAT adventure if combined? I ran Age of Worms in Al-Qadim mashed with Rod of Seven Parts plus some Dungeon adventures (Assassin Within, Last Oasis, Khamsa’s Folly).
That’s a whole campaign so I’m writing off spec here, apologies.

I’m diving into the rabbit hole that is The Rod of 7 Parts lore, and some of those ancient proto demons – obyriths, like the Queen of Chaos – could be great answers to the high tier bbeg problem “can wotc design things that my demi-god level 20’ers could have a real fight with?” This was in 3.5, so I had my own versions of the spyder fiends and Miska the Wolf Spider. I found THAT ridiculous bastard on my google drive recently.
I do not miss designing 3rd edition stat blocks.

Temple of Elemental Evil and Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun match up really well thematically (needing a way to tip the players on the connection) Tomb of Annihilation would be a fantastic prequel to a Desert of Desolation series where you reskin the pharaoh to have been cursed by Acererak, manipulating genies.

And my biased answer: Acquisitions Inc’s Orrery of the Wanderer links really well to Cloud Giant’s Bargain.

The 5e version of Sunless Citadel could make an interesting prequel for Curse of Strahd, especially if you play up the horror elements (the mutated dragonpriest, the twig blights and the Gulthias tree, et al.) and tie elements into Curse (perhaps instead of Ashardalon, the ancient dragon cult revered Argynvost and has iconography of silver dragons, or the vampire whose staking was the genesis of the Gulthias tree was a former spawn of Strahd, or Belak himself is a dhampir and/or was exiled from the Barovian druids, etc.)
