#4IMHO GTD-based approaches are not optimal for knowledge workers cause they don't limit work-in-progress, and this ends up being overwhelming.

I'm not sure I understand your comment (I don't know what you mean by "limit work-in-progress") but one of the principles is to be explicit and formal about all the projects you've got going, as opposed to having fuzzy ideas about an unlimited number of potential projects in your head. When you track all of these projects, you adopt a more realistic approach, and you think more carefully about whether or not to start one.

#6With the time it takes to maintain that setup, you could probably do another task or two per day

#7The perfect to-do list is the one that inspires you to do the things on the list. This is highly individual.
I'm glad you found that Trello works well for you, but that doesn't mean everyone else's search will end in the same place.

#8I just end up using text files or written notes. Works both as a to do list and idea scratchpad. The only thing I'd want to change is be more organised about keeping the text files in sync (we can't use Dropbox at work, so I end up using emails).
I've heard good things about org mode in emacs, wonder what added value I'd get from that.

#9I'm very interested in the topic as I've struggled to replace the efficacy of my old Franklin Planner.
I've tried Google calendar reminders, and that hasn't worked. Evernote hasn't been great either. I don't want to go back to Notepad.
Maybe the issue is having the discipline to spend 15 minutes a day planning?

I'm not sure how I missed that. I've never heard of if hiTask! A friend pointed out Bullet Journal (http://bulletjournal.com/) too. I like the idea of having it all in your notebook but it does mean you have to carry it around everywhere.
