Stainless Steel Rat is an excellent shoutout.
The Scarlett and Brown series is about outlaws on the run in a slave society, has similar bursts of violence, deeply scarred main characters, and somewhat snide narrator.
I read Ann Leckie's series that starts with Ancillary Justice around the same time and it tickled a lot of the same places in my head as Murderbot, in that it's about a construct forced into violence that then escapes to move in the human world with its own agenda. Very different in tone, pacing, and scope though.
