Isn’t Paul making a comparison between funding for the ot Levitical by way of tithing, and also would thereby promote tithing to the nt preachers in this passage, since he chose to use 2 words of comparison, “ EVEN SO”? (Or LIKEWISE)

Nice observation. But also consider that all the chapter is an apology work of Paul. So when he speaks about preachers , i think he speaks for Apostles, Evangelists etc. .people who travel etc.
(read all that chapter, it speaks for apostles)
Peace to you.
