Sounds a lot like me! Except I'm further behind on steady state cardio too. I do CrossFit 1-2 times a week, it's been fun learning olympic lifting for a new challenge. Come to think of it, CrossFit is really good about filling in a lot of the aspects of fitness that traditional powerlifting often ignores. Even the stretching at the beginning of class has been helpful for me, but I also started doing yoga do which was great for mobility.

Awesome. Do you enjoy running? I've been doing CrossFit for conditioning, which has helped me get in more cardio than ever before because it's the only kind I don't hate.

Nice, that's a huge PR. I've been taking a break from competitive powerlifting and have really enjoyed CrossFit the last couple years believe it or not. There's still lots of strength work but lots of cardio too.

Nice! By "off" do you mean not lifting or reducing the load?

I've learned many lessons where I told my coach I don't need a deload only to discover a week later how awful I feel and very much do need a deload.

Agree, pull push legs makes the most sense. That said, once you get to a certain level of strength, deadlifting twice per week just may not make sense anymore no matter what you do.
