Aside from repotting it in a ceramic (not plastic) planter, any advice? It's become so top heavy I had to tie it to a brick to keep it from falling over. I know the smaller pole needs to be more upright, but what else? :/

Repot it, but tilt it back more. The moss pole looks too vertical, it needs to be like a 20-30 degree angle back to offset the leaf weight. It looks ready for a bigger pot too, which will add stability as well.
The only thing I might add is when you repot it, try to angle the whole plant back.
This is the best and worst problem to have. Sorry I dont have much to offer. Gorgeous plant though. 😅
Only thing I can think is to rehome it with me🤷♀️
I would suggest repotting in a deeper pot, but not too wide, so you can anchor the pole better. Try and untangle the roots and get it closer to the pole.
Also, maybe a chop and prop? Tame it down and it’ll be easier to redirect if it’s smaller. Although it is a beautiful, full plant!
This is not going to get much better. I mean, if you can repot it without damaging any part of it, I think you will be in the same predicament very soon after anyways. This is ready for the jungle. That’s not a bad thing. It’s to be expected!! It’s a tropical vine! https://www.reddit.com/r/Monstera/s/mkxvt9KA3T
I say it is time to chop, prop and start again.
