WRT footnote 4, and the paragraph containing it:

You still have other food safety concerns, especially if you are eating many raw plant foods, which is less of an option with animal foods so is generally not done. But you knew that.

As regards vitamin deficiencies, there is some chance that trying to at least partially embrace traditional diets from said vegan traditions may reduce the risk of deficiencies. Food science is still struggling to get a grip on all that the human body needs and how it needs it, but a traditional cuisine that leads to malnutrition tends not to last very long as a tradition.
