Soma Buena Vista comes in tall sizes. Apparently now, only disc brake, and, of course, only tig welded.
The Gazelle above looks pretty tall, so the bikes must be out there somewhere, if you can find them .
But, yes, I can imagine the woes with sourcing tall Mixtes. Perhaps going full custom. I have to think that some of those Italian frames that are popping up were very low production semi-custom bikes, and some of the shops may still exist.

Quite a few interesting Bianchis, but alas, generally with plain high-ten steel. Some of the vintage styles have pretty tall head tubes, and might work with a tall seat post.
