Agree with #1
About #2, i don't fully agree with that. Some AVs do provide better security features in their paid software like better cloud, web protection, Ransomware protection, exploit protection, identity protection, etc. A firewall is a good addition to the whole package and is not just a bell & Whistle.
Completely agree with #3 and up to an extent #4 (definitely need an on-demand scanner even with default deny solutions) too.
Agree up to an extent with #5.
