+1 no reason not to do all of that stuff with the exceptions you listed, can't think of anything else.

imho cabin air filter is really underrated, it's the difference between your car blowing clean fresh air in your face or dusty dirty air when the car starts getting up there in age/mileage

I did the spark plugs at 60k and was glad I did, but if the car is primarily just driven around town I think you probably won't notice pushing the spark plug change later, whatever the dealer says about spark plug change now, I would be surprised if they charged you much less than $300 and some quotes have been $500+ for JUST spark plug change.

I was happy to DIY my spark plugs, but if I was facing a several hundred dollar bill, wasn't driving the car terribly hard or competitively, and I planned on selling it at some point down the road then I'd probably defer it too.

Edit: And as above coolant is 11 year replacement, ~137k miles, 75k miles after that, just inspection and top off at ~30k mile intervals, should check when you check the oil though
