Sadly, very few, here is what is available:

Perfect for our needs, but ancient and unmaintained, unlikely to work with recent MW.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UploadWizard
Very good and usable for our needs, but it requires some setup and is English-specific, being a direct port of the Wikimedia-based version. Highly recommended if we get it working, it's still very actively used and unlikely ever to break down if we get it, Wikimedia Commons leans on this as their foundation 24/7.
Miraheze can do most of the specific tech work for any backend tweaks we cannot do, but I recommend religiously referring to the documentation for any tweaks. If we do not have the option to require a license as a tweak to enable on our end (this should be a default feature), I would suggest we request Miraheze enforce that for us on the backend.
Note: We can keep the old Upload around until we are sure we have it tweaked adequately for our needs, then retire the old upload form or merely depreciate it, as our needs may be.

A third party, "brandless" fork of UploadWizard, but information is scanty and it's not currently supported by Miraheze
