Tectonics q: do plates moving against each other store energy like leaf springs being compressed? So slip probability is not iid over time?

epistemological answer. If we don't get tectonics well enough, they are iid. If we do, perhaps nothing is iid! Sorry.

I think there are periodicities (e.g. PNW big one - 300 yrs) in earthquakes, so perhaps they're correlated processes & hence not iid?

Yes, the probability builds over time as the rocks are compressed. And faults are not straight so location is important too.
