Eliminating Accounts
I want to start off by saying that I feel Respawn needs to take action with accounts that are lower than level 50 with little to no gameplay and here is why. It has been brought to my attention that ...

One thing is hackers, other and potentially bigger issue is nowadays quite popular and successful business of boosting. Would not be surprised if latter would have more/most profiles in queue given their time matter and the more they boost over X hours the more money they make = they are basically incentivized to cheat even more so because their clients are people who knowingly want to get rewards they don't deserve otherwise = cheating system. So they don't care if they are boosted by current Pro just making some side $ or pure rage hacker.
And unfortunately EA/Respawn does not care about that - example: I reported dude who streamed on Twitch with clear wallhack and potential softbot. AND his Twich profile even had clear link to boosting website and discord (operational, joined discord, signed up for boosting (without doing it) - all works smooth and fast). => my report result - dude is till playing and streaming :)
Only way to clamp down on this:
1. clearly state what is smurfing (EA still has vague rules for it)
2. not allow Bronze to Pred runs for TTVs and Pros
3. monitor RP gain per day in ranked / average kill, damage in pubs -> flag and manual review people who fall out of normal range (starting from extreme cases like 30KP per game or 1000+ RP per day in top ranks)
4. finally implement something that would solve PC hacking on mass / automated detection level
Until then unfortunately this game is paradise for hacks and exploits and quite known for its weak ability / willingness to do much about it. Would be nice to see how many accounts are banned for hacking vs trash-talking in chat or forums, would not be surprised if numbers would be comparable.

You forgot to add a few things to your list:
Point 2 should not just be relegated to just Pros or TTVs etc. but for all.
Detecting all that crazy hardware etc that controller players use to cheat.
Detecting Controller software cheats and Macros.
