A sign error was found by @cmm0052 in the 3PN Ldot flux. This has been fixed in commit 5f3edad.
I have tested the changes and the circular limit now agrees with the circular PN series. I also checked that the eccentric result tends to the numerical value.
I will close this issue now.
It looks like there is error in the 3PN angular momentum flux for eccentric orbits. It does not seem to match the paper -- Eq. (5.6) of https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.03044. You can also see the issue by comparing the circular limit of the eccentric PN series to the circular orbit series -- see the below code. In this limit the difference seems to only appear in the 3PN term with all other terms matching through at least 9PN.
which gives the result
(379223 y^3)/2520
