My back just isn't built for them. Didn't full on hurt myself, but tweaked it a little bit, at only 235 and sumo style. Always on that right side with my spinal defect.
Going to try one arm DB deadlifts and if that aggravates it, too, then I'll just quit forever.

You're better educated in lifting than I am, but I thought I would throw in some advice based on my experience with the deadlift. I, too, have a wonky lower back. On some days I can deadlift with no problem; other days?- moderate weight can hobble me. One contributing factor that I have isolated is how fatigued my back is when I get to deadlifts. It is much more difficult to maintain proper form when my back is fatigued. It is also difficult to maintain form when doing high reps on the deadlift (even if my back was not fatigued when I started the exercise).
It's stuff I'm sure you already know, but maybe worth looking at.
1. Were deadlifts the first exercise or the last exercise of the day?
2. Were you doing high reps or low reps?
Maybe an adjustment in the routine can alleviate the problem.
