Not sure if I loaded your XMP correctly, but your edit looks dark to me. Is your monitor calibrated? Unless editing for HDR (which I rarely try), my monitor is around 150-160 nits.
Quite a few factors contribute to “pop”, I think. At least for me microcontrast is one important factor, thus, I usually use Richardson-Lucy deconvolution to bring out details (instead of sharpening). I’m not sure what lens was used, but f/11 might be too much and loosing details due to diffraction (f/8 is the smallest I usually use for landscape).
I like natural look, not a fan of saturated, so here’s one from my usual workflow. Somehow I like your composition, the large sky with a hint of blue at the top gives me the openness of the scene/sky so I didn’t crop.
