How does the actual load say anything about usefullness for hypertrophy or strength building?
I'm not sure I understand your question... Higher loads mean more strength and/or hypertrophy.

I think you could probably start with your hips a touch higher. When you set up it looks fine, but then just before you start the lift you do a sort of shoulder "anti-shrug" and this movement lowers your hips quite a bit. If I were you I would try to remove this movement. Don't go from shrug to anti-shrug, just keep your shoulders "down" from the beginning and don't lower your butt too much.
Bolded is exactly what he should be doing, for this exact reason...

I've found it's a helpful que to really engage the lats and just as a que to brace and start the lift.
Now, if we're going to start internet nitting your deadlift (which is very good already), he is probably right about dropping your hips the instant before you pull.
If you frame-by-frame your first rep, you can see the bar even rolls forward slightly as you flex your knees and then your knees are the first thing to extend as you start the pull meaning that you're using more quad than posterior chain to get the bar moving (look! Your quads are strong! you don't need to do any leg extensions
)
I'm tired and I don't know what the cue you need is. Think about a more vertical shin angle at the start. Think about extending at the hips before the knees. Think about chest up earlier. Something like that. Maybe looking less down will help all this too.
