Seems to be a common issue from what I’ve found and a few topics on it on here, but is there anyone who offers a repair service on them? I don’t have the patience to do the soldering, going to check the sensor first and probably remove the unit
First, leave the sensor alone, chances are it's fine. If you have ABS and the ABS warning light hasn't come on, definitely leave the sensor alone as it's fine.

Second, remove the drivers kick panel trim and locate the MEP (Multiple Earth Point) and clean and tighten all the terminals on it. This may solve the 30mph when static or driving problem but that sounds more likely to be a broken/leaked capacitor within the speedo.

Do the odo/trip meters function as you drive along or are they dormant like the speedo?
