Looks and sounds normal like mine. I do not think your problem is there. You may want to change the gear oil to see what the original oil looks like.

I just watched the video, it seems that the rear wheel nut is loose or the rear gear oil is mostly gone.

Can you put your bike on its centre stand and run the engine over various rpms. Record a video of the rear wheel and transmission and post the link here or on YT etc.

Ok, some of us are in agreement that your rear wheel and its bearing, and gears looks and sounds normal when you turn the wheel by hand.....

So back to your original complaint of screaming engine and lower top speed and power loss:
Gease or oil on the pulleys could cause all the above.  A leaking seal in the CVT or incorrectly done lube job?
Or - too light weight rollers installed could give same performance problems.
Does your expert mechanic agree with you about "screaming engine & power loss"?

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

If I had to guess, I’d say that it was worn or damaged rollers, especially if everything else checks out and the reduced performance is relatively new.
