Did I read somewhere that seat belt buckle style releases are mandatory now?

2023, page 36. Paragraph Note:
. . . a full door net or a combination of restraint systems that would be equivalent to a "full" door net
  . . . shall be attached with a positive locking system, e.g., seat belt hardware.

Push button quick release pins are also an example of a positive locking system, So I would say seatbelt hardware is not mandatory but an example of a mandatory positive locking system.
Records or parts, I didn't come all this way not to break something.

Agree. The rule book uses "e.g.," (For example). The word "shall" is missing which means mechanism design is wide open and subject to inspector's approval.
