Would the hormones be plummeted if in a real overtrained state? I don't think they can be that out of wack based on my current strength

They're probably not that out of wack. Maybe just cortisol if I had to guess.

If the only thing decreased in a deload week is volume, and sets are to rpe8 or 9, then it's likely still enough stimulation for at least mild progression, correct?

Sounds like you took a spiked supplement, and now the crashing 
Been at the gym 20+ years, and only seen people hit big numbers who are on the gas. Unless train for powerlifting.
Esp all lifts, I got friends who can bench 180kgs easy but their squat, and deadlift suck ass.
When I see someone's lifts climb across the board, it's 99% always the gas. When you see changes in a body over 3 months that takes a real natty 2 years that's the gas.
Without more information, it's difficult to even say what you're experiencing.
I know some of Australia's top naturals, some in their late 30s winning nationals and everything is consistent.
The fact you dropped 30% strength, that screams you were on something and probably didn't do a PCT but are loading yourself with natty supplements.
Doesn't add up, sorry!
Diet is a huge factor in strength, but you claim everything is nailed so honestly it doesn't leave much much.
New account aswell, surprised no one else has mentioned it
