It's been faster than normal for sure, but by no means blazing. At 35 I tried just letting 3 level 60's and a level 56 carry in ST, but the 35 was only getting like 60 exp per kill. I was hoping to get into dungeons asap because open world tap leveling is a major pain right now. I feel like there's been something talked about with killing mobs that aren't 10+ levels over you but I can't find anything detailing it.

He's 39 now, I'm probably going to grind out this level then test out ST again at 40 and see what the exp gains are. I'm sustaining 35k ish an hour right now depending on pvp, so ideally I'd be able to maintain those kind of exp gains.
Your mistake is going into dungeons that under leveled. You have basically a hard cap of how much XP per kill you will get based on level/group size. In ST you're killing fairly high level mobs. Your lowbie is leaving probably 50% of the potential XP on the table. Each level you gain in a place like ST, you're going to get more XP per kill, while the kill rate will remain relatively static. If you were in there at level 48, you'd probably be getting 100ish xp per kill, vs 60ish.

When getting boosted, the ideal setup is to always be basically the same level as the mobs, because that's the most efficient way for the high level to boost. Getting boosted in SM cathedral at level 38, is going to be a lot faster xp/hr than getting boosted at 33, because the kill speed is going to be roughly the same, but you're going to get a significantly larger chunk of XP per kill.
