Fast forward a few weeks and the driver-side lock switch is completely stuck and unable to be manually opened from the inside without excessive wiggling/force, but even if it is moved to the unlocked position the door remains locked and can only be opened manually from the outside with the actual key. Anyone have a similar issue or potential fixes? A video example is attached.

You might try spraying some silicone spray in and around the latch then let it sit for a few hours - you might get lucky. If not, consider taking off the door panel and spraying everything, even remotely attached to the lock.
I asked Bubba and he says to pound on the latch with the palm of your hand, three times, hard.
