Would the conservative end of the margin of error still make this our oldest discovered star?

Perhaps technically, but not literally. In all proto-galaxies there would have been baby stars like HD 140283. We need to wait for the James Webb Space Telescope to study the infant universe in greater detail - we don't know as much about it as we will by 2030. So lots of mysteries to be solved in cosmology!
