I'm not really a designer but I think points 9 and 10 are pretty subjective. Using borders and underlining links will probably depend on your style/design a lot and should not be generalised (I mean just look up and you'll see even dev.to underlines links) - but one rule I think is good is that links should stick out - plus you can't forget accessibility and the fact that not everybody sees just colors like everyone else.

Yeah it's subjective but personally I don't think it's necessary most of the time to underline nav-bar links as it's clear they are links and it looks a little cleaner. And with borders I think a lot of beginners overuse them and make them too thick and bold. That being said, I agree with you that it is all subjective and dependent on design!
