Your list of boundaries is generally good and I am glad to see them explicitly written down. It helps your friends to have them.

I have a comment about your boundaries list, because there is a thing that is squicky to me. It's asking friends to warn others that X is dangerous.

It is okay that you have that boundary; it crosses my boundaries in an uncomfortable way.

You're asking me to try to control someone else's behavior on your behalf, asking for me to intervene in something three tiers out from you. (Tier one: stuff directly to do with you. Tier two: stuff between me and someone else. Tier three: stuff between someone else and someone else). I might decide to do it anyway, either out of respect for your boundaries or because of my own discomfort, but I still don't like being asked for it.

But again, it is okay for you to feel that way, and for you to want people to do that. Your safety comes first
