Landau was Einstein+ level genius and the course was a soviet theoretical physics bible many years ago. But it’s not a good educational resource by modern standards and pretty dated.

True it is pretty dated. OP was requesting resources that cover *all* of physics and Landau popped into mind. Is there a modern series of textbooks that offers such a broad coverage?
Landau these days doesn’t look like a “broad coverage” at all.
More like “many specific topics and areas covered in a set of books under same authors”.
Also Landau was one of the last (probably the last) polymath physicists who covered a wide range of fields.
I doubt it is even technically possible to cover even 30% of all modern theoretical physics in a single course with depth comparable to Landau books.
