<30 seconds between reps should be fine, although 30 is pushing it a little.

Deadlift Form Check
I appreciate all pointers on form (if something is wrong).
Other than that, I was wondering is it normal to take a small break (< 30 seconds) between sets while deadlifting?
Weight lifted: 240lb
Thanks in advance.

You seem to be keeping your hips too high as you begin the pull. I'd been having the same problem and found that bending more my knees like MikeC1 said helps a lot with achieving and maintaining a better lower back position.
Also, someone more experienced should confirm this, but I think bending more your knees would also help with the initial part of the movement, which should be performed by the quads, only affecting the knee angle.

Got it. So hips lower, knees bent a bit more and pronounce lumbar arch. Thanks for the quick replies.
