Remember that Lighthouse (and therefore PageSpeed Insights) scores fluctuate. Consider running multiple times and taking median scores when doing comparisons of performance like this. "The median Lighthouse score of 5 runs is twice as stable as 1 run" https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/variabili...

That's a fair point. There were certainly small discrepancies when I ran it multiple times, but I'll use the median metric moving forward.
