At this point I still have hope. And everything has been fixable. If this next set of lifters also gets trashed then I'll be a lot more bummed.
Overall I've had a lot of fun with this project and learned a lot. Biggest let down was being screwed over by the machine shop, seeing all the signs of Det after initial tuning, and these trashed lifters. Everything else had been a good learning experience.
Getting fucked by the machine shop was the biggest let down. 4 months late. $500 over quoted price was really hard to swallow. But life goes on.

I'll revert to 1.4.1 when the car is running again. But that is a different way of tuning idle and the like so it takes more time.

Mine literally locks up. No spikes or weird behavior. Just frozen. Target angle is stuck, measured angle is stuck.

I have yet to find a machine shop on the east coast that is on time, price quoted, and does good work. I have used probably a dozen now and all are like that. It is even worse if you give them something around the end of winter or start of spring.

I know of one machine shop here that's doing great work and is reasonably priced. The other side of the coin is that if you don't push him A LOT, he will never start your project. If you stop by every few days, he'll eventually get around to it. He usually claims it'll take two weeks, which then turns into two months.

Fwiw this machine shop came highly regarded and people have had good experiences with them. They do machine work for English racing. They just fucked me. Also I was told to order the wrong bearings. Anyone want a set of ACL STDX bearings?
If you could find that link Stefan that would be awesome. I'd be interested in that.
Anyone know if there is a break in procedure for new lifters?

I'm afraid I conflated DNMakinson's Synch Error issue (see below) that was fixed by cutting CAN wires with my own VVT issues I've experienced with rusefi. So it seems unlikely that CAN is your problem.
