(1) Use the Enterprise Content Type Hub that you have in SPO and you don't want to use
(2) Build your own "Enterprise Content Type Hub" feature using PnP, Azure Functions and some other stuff
(3) Follow Joel advise and wait for a replacement of current Enterprise Content Type Hub feature (Something I have not heard it will happen anytime soon)
