You cannot draw a consistent line or set of rules for the actions of a company as big as nintendo, consisting of many departments, subsidiaries, and individual disgruntled lawyers who may or may not feel like picking a fight on any particular moment.

Within the pokemon romhack community, people have tried figuring out a similar set of "unofficial guidelines", that generally reflect your list to a T. However, there's enough examples of "random" takedowns[1] and I know at least one person who got a seemingly random C&D for an unpublished romhack, whose takedown never reached the public ear. I'm sure there's many similar cases.

The list is good advice for staying off any company's IP protection radar, but "random" takedowns are often tip-offs from an aggrieved community member, competitor, or bitter ex.
