Not sure what steps you can take to confirm the issue outside of replacing parts; but you could try swapping the thermistor with a new one and seeing if that fixes the issue, and if not keeping the spare on hand for future replacement. Your issue looks like it doesn't appear until the hotend has been heated for a bit so it could be some internal connection coming loose from the thermal expansion and not something more obvious like a broken wire. It's gotta be that or the heater itself.
Also you might PID tune the heater after the thermal paste replacement if you suspect it's not reading correctly.
I suspect it's motion/jiggling around related. I guess I could whip up some g-code to see what happens when the printer is still vs when it's moving rapidly.
Thanks for the nudge, will follow up.
