I’m glad I didn’t know this.
5w-30 for new Honda 3.5L v6

Just to be accurate they don’t “spec” a grade, grades are recommendations. Specifications are a “spec”.
In this case, however, if only the grade (0W-40) is the recommendation than the goal is either a minimum HT/HS of a 40-grade or a specific winter rating. Most likely a minimum HT/HS.
But this ignores many of the other things that come along with a typical 0W-40, such as specific manufacturer approvals or minimum performance standards for things like sludge and deposit formation.

Subaru is not the best resource for engine failures. Hyundai / Kia are.... circa Theta2 2010-2020
All the VCM comments....has anyone had drama with a 2023 like the OP has? I had an '06 with bad mounts several times over my ownership but defeat devices? Is this still even an issue with the current model year? I think most of the issues being thrown out were on much older versions of this system.

Nobody has yet mentioned the prettiness of the jugs it comes in...
Mobil 1 0W-30 ESP or there 5W-30 in the ESP Line. Do you have a way to measure Oil Temperatures, if not, do the same run again and when you get back home shoot an Infrared Gun at the Oil Pan.
I am more of a Thicky than A Thinny, but it sounds like the 0W-20 held up fine with the Heat you had there. I am guessing your engine that is a V6 holds almost 6 quarts of oil. My Dad is driving my Mom's old car that has a V6 and that engine only hold 4.5 quarts of oil.
Again, before you panic, try and figure out your Oil Temps, and then get back 2 us here!

The bitog people have spoken. However, I'm also tearing into newer engines these days to make this call.
