Hello MianTF. I am the author of the post you referenced, the one about the noise like tappets. Mine was making the noise while idling and a bit when starting off, but once in motion, it stopped. What happened to me was that the spring of the timing belt tensioner broke, and I was lucky that the pieces didn’t fall into the oil pan, otherwise, it would have been a big mess. Mine is from around the same year as yours (October 2020).

Since they gave me a hard time at the dealership because I was missing one oil change according to the guy who attended me (I bought it second-hand and it seems they skipped this change), I bought the tensioner and installed it myself. I inspected the belt and it was completely new. There were no traces of it in the oil or anything like that, so I left it because it still had useful life.
The timing belt campaign didn’t come up for me, only the piston one.
What surprised me the most is that I drove about 10,000 km with the noise and nothing happened. I must have used up all my luck for 10 years.
With a bit of luck, the same thing happened to you and maybe only a couple of teeth skipped on the belt. If it hasn’t touched the valves, the repair is simple.
Push them a bit to see if you can get them to repair it for you, because the car itself is very good, no matter what they say about the wet belt. By doing the maintenance on time and properly, it shouldn’t cause problems.
Good luck and regards.
