Currently reading Skyward by Sanderson which is great so far, though a little too YA for my tastes. It's my first Sanderson book and I'm considering reading Mistborn or Stormlight next. Are either of these darker or more mature than Skyward?

Yes, they’re definitely more mature/complex. Mistborn is an easier and faster read. Stormlight requires dedication in the early going but definitely pays off. I’d start with Mistborn in retrospect, but I started with Stormlight and loved it

stormlight is better than mistborn imo but you need to commit because it takes a while to get going but you will hit a certain point and be hooked and finish the series.

Stormlight is a little more complex but has some of the best use of plot and wit that I’ve ever read. Imo it’s better than mistborn. Also don’t ignore the map at the beginning. Really look at the east side, because I had to reference it too many times to see where they were at.
