My sump is generally holding water well. Very very small leak out of the filter sock into the skimmer section. And then there is this into the return pump. Video shows max level water before the water flows over the gate. Is this going to be a problem or is this negligible?

If its a small leak into the next chamber, I personally wouldn't worry, but if I already had it torn down I would reseal it just because. Crud might get trapped and grow in the leaky spots and I'd rather not have to deal with that.

My silicone job was not perfect for my sump either. No problems whatsoever. I keep a small powerhead in my return chamber to keep is from getting stagnant and also helps mixing in dosing liquids so they don't precipitate.
Same, i put a powerhead in my fuge which is where I dose to
