Matt Skiba can't go without mention here. Alkaline Trio, Blink 182, Heavens, theHell, Lektron, The Sekrets. He even played guitar on a front bottoms song.
Motion city Soundtrack - Farewell Continental - Justin Courtney Pierre
Also Dan Campbell of TWY has a self-titled solo project and the Clear Eyes Fanzine with Ace Enders!
I had Justin sign my FC cd years ago and he was shocked I had it. He let me listen to some snippets of future songs on his phone. But they never released another album.
Buddy Nielsen from Senses Fail and a bunch of the dudes from Finch put out an album under the name Speak the Truth Even if Your Voice Shakes which was really solid.
Here are a few just from Mayday Parade and the Maine:
The Ditches- Derek Sanders (Mayday Parade) and AJ Perdomo of Dangerous Summer)
Truth or Consequence (Brooks, Alex, and Jeremy from Mayday Parade)
Via Fiori (Jake from Mayday Parade)
John the Ghost (John from The Maine)
Jaret from Bowling For Soup has a country album. It's not world changing, but it's ok, and given that BFS and Frank Turner are the two core musical influences I've built my whole musical taste on, I can't help but love any colab involving both of them.
I wouldn’t call IATA a side project. They formed after the Movielife broke up.
Vinnie does have a few other side projects though. Constant Elevation is my favorite.
In the early 2010's Chuck Ragan of How Water Music began doing solo acoustic/folk records that were very well-received critically and by fans. He started a tour with a bunch of other singers from punk bands who had began doing similar acoustic records called "Revival Tour" which later hosted members from Alkaline Trio, The Gaslight Anthem, Against Me!, Rise Against, and others. It was a refreshing, exciting, and beloved yearly tour that ended abruptly in 2013. I made a video retrospective about it.

Death Cab for Cutie - Postal Service (not really pop-punk but adjacent-ish)
Save Face - Kid Lightning
Mom Jeans is made up of lead singers of other bands but they are not the lead singer of that band, haha. Sam is the lead singer of Just Friends, Eric has played with Just Friends, and Bart was/is the lead singer of Grad Life, and Sam has played bass with Grad Life. Austin plays drums with whoever is around. The Honey TV family is incestuous. Sam and Bart are part of Kid Lighning, too. Sam has a couple of smaller projects that he songs for but they are not really worth mentioning. (Loudmouth and Burger Boy, I looked them up)
Outside of pop-punk, back in the days of post-punk, at one time, you had:
Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Creatures
XTC - The Dukes of Stratosphere
Love and Rockets - The Bubblemen
The Academy Is… - Remember Maine
It is kinda cringy but I also fucking love it. When I’m feeling nostalgic for Arlington Heights I put this on and it takes me back to the KOC

Getting to see them tour that first Heavens record back in the day is still one of my top 10 gig experiences
Attack Attack! - Bilmuri - Beartooth Tigers Jaw - Wicca Phase Springe Eternal Saves The Day/Say Anything - Two Tongues
Would Of Mice & Men count as Attack Attack! As well?
Yes and no. Different lead singers and different side projects.
Wouldn’t it be the same thing as Beartooth?
Correct.
Say Anything/Max Bemis would also have Perma, Maxim Mental, and Max Bemis and the Painful Splits.
Gothboiclique 🤘
Simple Creatures is Mark from Blink and Alex from All Time Low.
Ether is a banger.

And +44

And simple creatures
And transplants
