I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.
Should I take this delay as rejection?

It is taking 6-8 weeks still. Now 8/10 times you’ll get it within a month, but the question is are you willing to risk it? If your travel is scheduled after 8 weeks, only then go for standard visa, otherwise choose priority. You’ll also be able to book your flights early and save money there.
I doubt VFS is getting benefited by priority applications as the fees of priority applications (priority £250/super priority £800) is paid directly to the visa application processing centers within UK which come under Home Office jurisdiction. VFS is a private company working in contract with various governments to provide visa related services.
However they do try their best to sell their service plans - the most expensive one charges you around ₹5k and isn’t worth the service you get.
To answer your main question, the 6-8 weeks of processing time was in year 2021 and nearly half of 2022. Since late last year they’ve brought it back close to 3 weeks. So unless your travel is planned within a month, I don’t think you need to go for priority route.
I know one case where passport was delivered with stamped in just two weeks for normal application.
