Got the same problem, here what I came up with.

Like in previous solution - copy index.html from django to your /admin/index.html and modify it like this:

{% for model in app.models %}
    {% if not model.perms.list_hide %}
    
    ...
    
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

And create ModelAdmin subclass:

class HiddenModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def get_model_perms(self, *args, **kwargs):
        perms = admin.ModelAdmin.get_model_perms(self, *args, **kwargs)
        perms['list_hide'] = True
        return perms

Now any model registered with HiddenModelAdmin subclass won't show up in admin list, but will be available via "plus" symbol in detail:

class MyModelAdmin(HiddenModelAdmin):
    ...

admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
