Cannot offer you any insights on the missing other than you might have an injector or two that are out of tolerance.
It happened to me on some rebuilts that I installed one time and never could get the motor to run right until I installed some NEW Alliants.
After that it ran perfect.
And your injectors are shut off on decel to save on fuel. Part of the programming and the silent injectors above 30 are normal operation.
Same programming as the gas engines when the computer shuts off the injectors for decel.

That is correct, your torque converter is locked and it should be dead quiet when you let off and the TC is locked. As well as the tuning changes for fuel. Once it releases it will chatter away.

The buzz test is checking the electrical side of the injectors, you are not getting any codes right? Have you ran the truck enough to work out the air in the systems?
