Good job with this tricky piece!
I have one practise tip that you might want to try. Practise the piece while counting out loud, and make sure to practise at a tempo where you can keep the pulse (your counting) very steady while playing. Make sure your voice is the boss that controls your fingers, and not the other way around, if that makes sense. Then gradually increase the tempo, but not faster than that you still feel in charge of the tempo with your counting. You might find that this can be a bit tricky, but it is very valuable, and you'll be amply repaid if you keep at it
The reason I suggest this is because the rhythm is a bit unsteady, and your hands are not always together when they should be. You'll see that if you (instead of your fingers) get more into the driver's seat when it comes to the pulse, and you can keep your hands synchronized, the piece will feel easier!

Nice POV video.
You are grabbing for keys a lot with your LH. Practice the LH in isolation so you know what comes next. One should place the hand in preparation of what comes next, as opposed to letting the LH part become simply a follower to the RH moving part. When you play with both hands, your LH should not be allowed to become lazy and forget to prepare and position in advance.
Practice your RH while looking at your LH (or to the left side of the keys). The LH has more jumps, so it could use the visual aid.
