Nice sumup, but a little confusing in some places. Hard core domainers know all this. Newcomers may find some parts confusing - l did and had to re-read to understand! Dividing the text into sections with headers (titles) in bold would help, IMO.

Put 2FA for everything. If you also have it on your main email account, it becomes very hard for someone to hack your account because any attempt at changing something will be sent to you via email, which only you have access to. If your registrar has it...its best to enable 2fa.

It is time to get serious about domain name protection, because unauthorized person can get your information. You can use WHOIS tools to hide the information of your domain. You can see here who your registrar is and what your login details are.

Kind of painting it with a wide brush there...that really depends on what type of 2FA you use/your registrar provides. A number of registrars let you use Google Auth / Authy instead of using a phone number. In which case, there is no SMS to receive.
