In my experience side projects are the least important part of a resume. Employers just aren’t interested in over achievers.
In my case I would prominently feature my side projects to showcase my capabilities, discoveries, and potential. Nobody cares.
What’s important is your employment history, years of relevant experience, and percentage match to the criteria of the current roll. It’s not about how good you are but well you fit. The better of a developer you are might actually work against you. If you have a lot of side projects, like I do, and have invested substantial effort to advance your capabilities, as I have, I am sure you will find that supremely depressing.
Always remember the goal is employment, not craftsmanship.
