The only auxiliary language I've been able to find that both seems viable and non-eurocentric is Sona, which seems to be missing much support at all. Are there any other good auxiliary languages that aren't based on Romance or Germanic language, or should I settle on the simple Esperanto?

Certainly. The most recent promising one is Pandunia. There was also Lingwa de Planeta, which I personally love and wish was more widely spoken... unfortunately there was a guy several years back who spammed the crap out of Esperanto speakers about it, which turned most of them off. I myself didn't get too into it until after it had mostly faded away.
Note also though: learning Esperanto doesn't mean committing to it as an international auxiliary language. It's a great exercise in and of itself, has a very broad and diverse community and great body of literature, and the more you learn it, the more you see just how much there is beyond the sanitized advertising image you generally read in English. Both good and bad. Above all, it's the auxlang that is (edit: socially/communally) closest to a natural lang, purely in the sense of how much is available in the language.
