John nailed it in the very first answer... Your crop is blown way beyond 100%. That's not a valid way to analyze image quality. If you have such distortions at 100%, you have a problem to diagnose and cure; magnifications beyond that are meaningless for this purpose, as each pixel of an image is stretched by a few pixels of a screen, resulting in all kinds of artifacts. Please post 1:1 (100%) crop from the original image, then it will be something for us to look at.

Here is a 1:1 Crop from the same shoot, albeit with higher ISO (but I thought still within reasonable for this camera):

12mm
ISO 1000
1/80
f2.8

RAW image, no adjustments, exported the crop straight from LR to Max jpg.

1:1 Crop

LR Histogram

I get stretching the image is not a true representation, but the point is this general noise pattern seems to exist in almost all of my shots with extreme variations of exposure settings and ambient conditions...

Really appreciate all of the ideas.  Lots of great suggestions to look into here.
