I also noticed this when I started planning a blogpost on this topic!
De Lazari-Radek and Singer’s The Point of View of the Universe has a chapter on hedonism, but I think the argument is less developed than in the two links you give. (BTW, if you have a copy of the paper by Adam Lerner and think it’s okay to share it with me, I’d be very interested!)
It’s interesting to note that Sinhababu’s epistemic argument for hedonism explicitly relies on the premise “moral realism is true.” Without that premise, the argument would be less forceful (what remains would be the comparison that pleasure’s goodness is similar to the brigthness of the color “lemon yellow” – but that doesn’t seem to support the strong version of the claim “pleasure is good.”)
