Short answer is yes. Long answer is it is very uncommon on the newer engines.

What's your definition of "non-normal"? Ram considers the hemi tick to be normal if it only lasts for a few seconds at initial start up. And a 2024 Hemi would be just as susceptible to it as prior model years because there haven't been any design changes in the last few years to address it.

Depends on what "tick" we're talking about. Lifter bleed down (a nasty startup noise that goes away quickly), definitely susceptible. Lifter failure (ticking on hot idle and eventually cam lobe is wiped along with crushed needle bearings), that appears to be less common in recent years after the last lifter update.

For sure, which is why I asked the question to the OP.

Many call the broken manifold leak the "hemi tick" as well
