Outside of the Monk feat Whirlwind Throw, is there a way for me to throw a grappled opponent as a Barbarian? Thanks for the help!

Not really. Hurling an grappled enemy isn't a general action, so there's only rules for doing it with a specific feat or ability.
Now, it's certainly possible to improvise actions that don't exist in the rules in this system, but that's all GM discretion, and not a Rules answer.
That’s what I thought. Maybe later there will be official check/write up. Until then I’ll discuss it with my gm.
Unless your GM is generous, I feel there are few options unless you have the target restrained (at which point, it would be easy to argue that you have them at your mercy enough that you are free to get fancy, in my opinion).
It seems like something that might be added into the rules eventually, PF1 had the barbarian rage power Body Bludgeon which let you pick an enemy up and use them as a weapon. And then you had the hurling line of rage powers which let you throw stuff you couldn't normally.
So there's definitely precedent.
But as of right now, nothing official exists.
But I could definitely see this being an option, especially for giant instinct barbarians.

This already exists in a way, with Collateral Thrash.
Wouldn't this technically already be covered by Athletics with the Shove action? I know that you technically must get a Crit Success in order for it to seem like a throw but that's basically what you're doing. Unless you are trying to throw someone as an attack then yeah that would require a feat.
Well... sort of. The Shove action isn't made any easier by having the target grabbed, and it has directional limits, as written. Those details do make it not that robust as a mechanic to represent some of what I think is desired here.
