What are the requirements for obtaining the BOI Long Term Resident Visa as a wealthy pensioner in Thailand?

it is indeed that simply. You need to prove to them $80k income by any of the means i mentioned. If your income is non-taxable, the obviously they won't see it on a tax return will they?? They are not going to take your word for it. So you need to supply the statements from FER's in addition to the tax and clearly demonstrate to them the non-taxable portion. It's even easier for them in that case, as long as you supply the correct documents.

I have a somewhat similar situation although the origin of the govt pensions are Canadian vice american. They accepted the statements that indicated over $80k quite clearly even with having to do currency exchange rates. They never required tax returns as a result.
