So Rule 1 matches.
And is all that's needed, for lists that have them. I'd only set up
different rules for other lists (without them).

True, but I've never found it to be a huge problem.
It might be if you're trying to follow a thread. At least, if you're
aware of this, you know where to look. But it's a surprise that's
easily avoided.

That one is serious. So what's your solution where List-Id
doesn't exist?
Most lists seem to have them. For those that don't, I use specific
rules using the to or reply-to addresses. I don't use generic recipient
rules, because then any match counts (to, cc, etc.), even when they're
not really appropriate.

That I've never found.
You're lucky, then. I've seen spam that's harvested addresses from
lists (list addresses and participants addresses).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
