I am a classic “older brother” sinner. I am far more aware of this now than ever before. In fact, starting in 2009, I’ve been on a rampage to get rid of older brother sins.

I would add one more to your list: bible idolatry.

I think the biggest sin of modern older brothers among Christians is making the bible into an idol, in the name of “honoring God” and “being keeper of the truth”.

For example, most Christians (hopefully) laugh and dismiss the following as utter nonsense. But there was a time when bible idolaters took this very seriously. They claimed that left-handed people were inferior human beings and some claimed lefties were condemned to hell. Why? Because of “the truth” in the bible. They pointed to both the old Testament and the new Testament, Genesis 48:13-18, Galatians 2:9, Exodus 15:6, Psalm 118:16, and Psalm 110:1 to prove the truth that God loves right-handed people (the majority) and hates left-handed people (the minority). God blesses the right hand, they taught, and curses the left hand.
