So turns out I didn't need to replace the PLA. But it's a component that would have died sooner or later, so I can qualify it as future-proofing.
Everything else seems to work fine (including the SID) except for two columns of of keys. I'm pretty sure those must be sharing a connection, so broken trace or another bad solder joint?
It's getting pretty late, so I'm going to leave that for another da

I've replaced the leg, this time going through the pin hole (this required some serious convincing from my part on to the PCB).
After that, I have a happy C64 that boots properly every time! 😄

Okay, instead of looking for a match of the symptoms online, I started using my eyes on the board, and noticed some ugly looking solder joints on the first CIA.
Putting some pressure on the CIA gets the machine working (and releasing it makes the cursor to stop blinking until I put the pressure again), so I'm definitely on to something!

I'm starting to consider buying a BD burner and some quality BD-R discs to start making physical copies of the games (from GOG), movies and series I really care about.
I'm also going to propose requiring AI agents to be configured to be way less verbose with comments, following the same logic we use with humans: code must be self-explanatory, only counter-intuitive scenarios should require comments.
Found a spare CIA for 20€, shipping included. Will arrive at some point next week.
I was thinking about swapping both CIAs (each C64 has two of them), but the problematic pin is 3, which on the second CIA becomes VA15, and that line is part of the VIC-II bank switching mechanism.
So I guess I'll put it into a socket whil…

Soooo... on visual inspection there are no broken traces. I've also checked with a multimeter in continuity mode and the pads from the affected keys reach the expected pins in the CIA.
