But Slowcrash, isn't the thicker head gasket compensating for removing material from the head or block. In effect, the volume of the combustion chamber shouldn't change, that much. Right?
Trying to wrap my head around this. I maybe wrong.

You are correct and the change is minor and likely not enough to affect combustion significantly with the specs OP plans to go with. Just throwing it out there that you can't just mill the head to your hearts content and compensate for deck height with just the head gasket.

Any head mill more than .004 will skew the chain geometry, and accelerate wear of the chain and sprockets. A head gasket with comparable thickness added will put it back in range.
The limit it the manual does not account for the ongoing timing chain issue, where the current chain geo is near the limit.

Regarding the accelerated wear of the chain and sprockets, will there be any warnings signs I should look out for (noises) before the chain gives up and my engine is a total loss?

The TCT rattle sound is actually caused by the chain being loose. The TCT itself does not make any noise.
