Not for nothing, but I applied a couple of years ago with similarly almost-perfect but not-customer-facing app experience, and all the other qualifications they were looking for, and was rejected with no followup, not even an initial screen.

Normally I wouldn't care, but it sticks in my memory and has soured me on applying again, because I don't know how I could get any closer to what they're asking for without literally working the job they have posted. It makes me think perhaps the posting is not accurate or complete in some way.

I was hired for a similar role with a better salary within a few months, so I don't think it was something fundamentally wrong with my application or resume. Though, granted, the market was different then. Maybe I somehow totally biffed the three or four questions they asked.
