I'd like to propose for the list: Default heading styles should not have equal top and bottom margin. Headings should be closer to the content they label than to the content they are setting their content apart from. h1, h2, h3 should not have different styles. it's an anti-pattern that leads to broken accessibility
I will never understand the bizarre scene of the web's smug collective declaration that tables were dead and not to be used juxtaposed against the years it took to regain the ability to reliably center things. Assuming one agrees that we even did regain it. Related: I also love when I can't paste tabular data into Excel/etc. anymore For the record, I don't hate the idea of stylesheets, but...sheesh
I think it was advised a bit too early, but ever since flexbox entered the scene, tables for page formatting became irrelevant. And just in case, nobody ever said tables were dead. Tables were declared bad practice for page formatting, not for tabular data.
Use grid instead.
I wish that one were we elaborated on more :)

Do not use flexbox for page layout. It invites nested flexboxes, which eats your reflow performance. Use grid instead.

The argument doesn't make sense because it is not too hard for a screenreader to understand whether a table is used for layout and even if it was hard the problem would more easily be solved by just adding an attribute to the table to indicate that it is used for layout.

Tables aren’t dead, they never were… when displaying tabular data. When it comes to layout I think you might be wearing rose tinted glasses. Remember having to put a 1px image in a table cell to avoid it disappearing? Remember “best viewed at 800x600”? I’m personally not nostalgic for either.
