When I was considering this subject (Matthias vs Paul as Jesus' replacement for Judas), I discovered something that could be profound. If I'm wrong about this, then I think the name "Matthias" is significant. In Hebrew his name is actually called "Methuselah" meaning "in his death it shall come" or "his death shall bring"....sounds like a good match for the situation at hand. Think about it, Judas' death brings about the need for a replacement.

Methuselah, man of the javelin
Mathias,, a male given name from Hebrew, derived from the same source as Matthew.
Yes Matthias was chosen before the Pentecost, but Matthias is not a man-appointed apostle because he was appointed when the Lord was inquired by the Eleven and also in fulfilment of scripture and also fulfilling the requirements of being present through Jesus' ministry from the baptism by John the Baptist to the Ascension.
Paul was indeed an apostle, but Paul is not one of the Twelve. Paul is much like his fellow apostles Barnabus and Silas whom were also apostles that Paul journeyed with, but they were not of the Twelve. Lol there is no thirteenth apostle, the Twelve are merely the Twelve, and the other apostles are merely other apostles. Apostle is merely an office of the Spirit like prophets, healers, preachers, and teachers. The Twelve are something a little grander, in that they serve as Patriarchs, or Fathers, of Israel in a spiritual sense alongside the Twelve physical Fathers of the race of Israel (ie: Judah, Levi, Isaachar, etc.)

Got Questions gives an answer to this Question:
"Was Matthias or Paul God’s choice to replace Judas as the 12th apostle?"
https://www.gotquestions.org/Matthias-Judas-Paul.html
It's conclusion is this:
So, what name will be written on the 12th foundation in the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:14)? The Bible does not explicitly say, but it likely will be Matthias. Ultimately, though, we will have to wait to find out.

Revelation 21:14 (KJV)
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The twelve apostles that Jesus had chosen include Paul, but not Matthias.
In this regard I would say Paul is one of the apostles of the Lamb.
I would then lean that Matthias, not chosen by Jesus, is not one of the apostles of the Lamb.
I realize that this is both interesting and worthy of our study and prayer. However, let us not tear each other down over such matters which are not critical for our salvation. Let us remember to build up one another.
