It was a while ago now but I'm pretty certain that I read some comments here saying using Accept-Language is often a bad idea.

From what I remember, your IT department may muck it up, or you're using a shared computer at say a hostel and someone's set it and you don't know how to change it, etc.

Aside from that, most of your examples need a lot of foresight, work and knowledge to actually pull off.

That is a valid consideration; it can use the URL to override the Accept-Language header (and the document can also include links for other languages, if appropriate). Likewise, the URL can also be used to override the Accept header.
