I would like to stay in Thailand for 2-3 months (may be some more). I have thai marriage certificate (+children birth certificate) and thinking to apply for 3 months NON-O visa to avoid TR visa because at the present time it’s a bit complicated to get it in Russia (its almost impossible to catch free slot in visa center to apply for TR visa, its necessary to provide paid accommodation for 3 months, return ticket etc..). So if someone have an experience in such kind of case I would be happy to get your advice.

also keep in mind entering the country on a russian passport gets you a 30 day visa waiver entry which cannot be extended by 30 days like people from countries who get visa exempt entries can

Your best option is to obtain the Non O as married to Thai BEFORE you trek to Thailand.

, yes thank you, I know about 30 days and sandbox. My main concern is the procedure (minimum list of docs) which I need to provide to the embassy because consular website gives different instructions, f.e. do I need provide spouse's id copy signed by spouse or just a copy will be enough (apply in Moscow). Or is it necessary to provide 400K deposit for 3 months period visa?

And as Russia is not on the approved country list for the Test N Go one night stay plan...

If you are fully vaccinated you can enter a sandbox plan with requires 7 nights in designated area such as Phuket, Bangkok, Pattaya among others.
