valve train noise?

It sounds like LY6 did before it blew up honestly. And it ticked rattled and made all kinds of wonderful sounds with a notable loss in oil pressure. One of it's LS7's fell apart and ate a lobe off the cam..... I would throw those lifters in the garbage personally and use something, hell anything else.
I don't think it's your o-ring as that would be an upstream loss and you would cavitate the pump. But I guess you never know.

Possible but you are still seeing a steady 40 psi of pressure to the engine at least according to the gauge. Try the o-ring first I guess as it is by far the cheapest option. However the o-ring is upstream of the pump and doesn't see pressure..... it's on the suction side, it can't. Now that's not to say with the idle rpm and lower volume the loss is not great enough to do anything but once demand increases with rpm the leak starts to allow cavitatation. But that is a long shot.

Id replace it by dropping the pan completely from the truck. Then I can see the filter on the pickup tube too

Not a terrible idea.... and I keep forgetting you are a 2wd so dropping the pan is a bit simpler, lol. It would be good if that fixes your problem! Then you get some more vids and hopefully not have the CPS ruin it for you, lol.
