I did this about five years ago, but for a space game I was working on. I wanted to generate solar systems, but I wanted realistic ones. I went down this rabbit hole of learning how solar systems were generated and learned a lot about how statistically speaking solar system formation like ours should be fairly common given the distribution of elements.
Gave up on the game, but this part of the process stuck with me.
