Agreed, properly modeling domain knowledge without types for example feels insurmountable to me. Maybe there exist a category of programmer who can do this, but why make programming more difficult than it already is.

Some or all of these might be excellent tools in service of solving your problem in its domain. They may be even essential for solving it. And they might be the wrong tools. It’s situational, and evaluating the appropriateness of each, how and why they fit, is part of modeling the problem domain just as much as designing the appropriate data structures, or state machine flow, or any other mechanism for expressing the domain.
