tautosyllabic

The f in this lexeme is merely lenition of p neighbouring tautosyllabic u, particularly when the next syllable contains a front vowel.

Now, this is a matter of detail perhaps but worth noting since p has occasionally eroded to f in Etruscan, particularly next to tautosyllabic u, and this sort of lenition can only rationally happen with a bilabial phoneme, not a labiodental one.

No Semitic loans identified during this period seem to require tautosyllabic consonant clustering in Mid IE either.

Having not thought deeply about PIE's curious phonotactic constraint that barred the tautosyllabic cooccurence of both a voiced aspirated stop such as *dh with a voiceless stop such as *t in a root, I've had no good explanation for it up to now.

Can you cite a word with an instance of an adjacent, tautosyllabic combination of sibilant plus aspirate stop where we know that Siebs' Law cannot apply?

If one thinks of these roots on both the phonemic and phonetic levels, then one understands the resultant phonetic t(ʰ) as merely an allophone of *dʰ following *s (or perhaps more specifically tautosyllabic *s?)

Can we not just say that it demands that the sounds are adjacent and tautosyllabic before the law can operate?

To pursue this end, I'd recommend explaining the rules behind this alleged preaspiration, particularly since in your example [j] and [tʰ] are not tautosyllabic.
