I enjoy all the engineering mods, and I wanna spend my time setting up stuff like factories and breeding facilities, but I found that I'm mostly mining for various crap.
I don't wanna switch over to Creative because that changes unrelated mechanics like Hunger, and I like having to unlock access to new material. I just wish I didn't have to farm for so much stuff.
Is there a mod or something to fix that? Maybe something that massively improves yield for all the common materials?

If you're tired of mining for ores, and instead want to focus on building take a look at Quarries. It is expensive in terms of minecraft resources, but once you build one, you won't have to mine anymore.
