Point #2 was the reason we made our todo app. It was amazing how many apps had due dates but not do dates. Today you should see the tasks that you WANT to do, and not ALL your tasks, and definitely not just the tasks that MUST be done by today.
The rest of the points are solid as well. Dealing with the downward spiral is the most challenging and interesting. I personally always solved this by putting my head in my wife's lap and talking through it. This is not scalable, so our solution is a "procrastination wizard" that walks you through getting started when you're in a downward spiral. We've gotten good feedback that it's helped people recover from spiraling, so there's definitely hope for solving this with a tool, and I think an LLM could be a good solution here!
