Clickbait.
Yes, I just finished reading it.
The argument from the early universe was especially irrelevant: the early universe had enough energy that particles were traveling > c. That does NOT imply that we know how to accelerate a particle above c under present conditions.
For the rest, poking holes in strawman paradox arguments is not sufficient to show that FTL travel is possible.

From what I understood of the video, her purpose was not to prove that time travel is possible, but that the assumptions and equations that make people believe time travel is impossible don't really demonstrate that it is impossible. In other words, she is saying that we haven't proven that time travel is impossible, despite many people believing we have.

No, they weren’t. According to the standard model, the universe itself was expanding > c.
