Your opening sentence is weirdly derogatory...

And I think these are all pretty far from the main performance issues with common apps FWIW. These are more low level coding issues, whereas the real slowness (e.g. 10x or 100x issues) comes from architecture, dependencies, network usage, data structures, reflows, etc.

That is tech debt and complexity. If you start from a simplicity first perspective most of what you list evaporates as a matter of habit.
