Most fluids have a recommended 5 year shelf life.
Spark plugs do not appear to have a shelf life.
Change your oil yearly, and the other things you listed I would change every 5 years. Spark plugs should be fine for 8-10years you’ll probably be able to tell if one starts going bad.

I really try to drive far and get the speed above 55 for an extended period of time when I do take it for a spin. Haven't done the hard braking, so maybe I'll start to do that. I'll change the fluids this year and follow fluid changes based on the months owned.
