But I'm open to non-humans having experiences that aren't technically pain but that are pain-like enough to count for moral purposes.

I guess maybe I just didn't understand how you were using the term "pain" - I agree that other species will feel things differently, but being "pain-like enough to count for moral purposes" seems to be the relevant criterion here.
