The disc issue with deadlifts is really common and usually comes down to bracing not being tight enough at the start of the pull or losing tension as fatigue sets in. At 1.84x bodyweight even a small form breakdown under fatigue will catch up with you eventually.
Beyond core work it might be worth trying a belt just for working sets. Not as a crutch but it gives you much better feedback on when your brace actually breaks. A lot of people find their form cleans up once they can feel that happening in real time.
Also worth having a trainer watch one set. Sometimes the issue is something small that you just can't see yourself.
