Are these in the order of difficulty to implement/manage/complexity? A list like this would help for what to try next if my interviewer is not convinced. They never seem convinced though. :(

I would say no - depending on your problems/business (for instance) you might have extra human time but no budget for vertical scaling - congratulations, you've chosen query plan and type upgrades and optimization!

Also I would add one - measure and check your assumptions - that database feature you might be thinking is helping could be the key to your destruction.
