>Though I was confused about the mosaic, you said that would open up to quite a bit more incidental,

The mosaic enables access to half of the basement where some of the incidental treasure can be. There's another access elsewhere to the other half of the basement. Roughly half of the quest's potential incidentals are split between the two basement areas (keep in mind only a random portion is placed each run), and the basements have a stronger emphasis on gear (weapons/armor) as opposed to other items.

Unfortunately I can't check past runs to see what was found or not found, only the most recent run. On the current run, over 20 items were hidden between the two basements, which is probably about average from what I've been seeing. The incidental stuff is highly randomized. Assuming a total failure of the RNG, at the absolute worst, 7 incidental items can be guaranteed to be hidden in the basement. Possible that happened on your run? Yes, but it's also possible the world will end tomorrow.

Incidentals aren't anything special, they're just an added bit of fluff mostly for the explorers and those wanting an added challenge to seek out. Ultimately your goal is to defeat Belmar and secure the tower, finding stuff along the way is just bonus.
