Should have stuck with a 26er instead of this new fangled wheel size nonsense 😉
I applaud your perseverance and looks like you've finally traced it
Well done gardron... sounds like you`ve nailed it...., and i dont think any of us said rear hub bearings..... 😳
Quick mention re Troutwrestler... The Sram XX1 suffers from a creak/cracking noise and greasing the shaft etc cures it. There are some vids to show you, it may be a similar aet up?.
Mine is a Shimano Zee.
The clutch would put more stress on the chain (that's what keeps the tension, right) so it could be BB or preload on the cranks or chainring bolts at the front end, or at the back it could be dropouts or something which interfaces with the cassette which is flexing more, or maybe jockey wheels. Or your clutch is a bit buggered.
