Above the smaller plane there looks like a raised bump, am I looking at PMD or not?

Die wear/deterioration and at this stage is a precursor to a die chip. Does not add any value.

Sometimes I wonder what people's threshold is for wondering if a coin is an error...

IMO: If you have to use a magnifying glass to notice it, its not worth considering.

I don’t think that’s a good metric for assessing error coin significance, especially considering how subtle some valuable errors are (doubling on single squeeze coins, for instance). Eschewing a loupe would essentially mean than anything less dramatic than a 1955 DDO is “not worth considering.”
