I actually mostly agree with that list.

However, I think that if you're on the Standard American Diet, raising your BMR will just make you hungrier. The bonus is you might be able to eat more, but it won't make you lose weight.

If you're on a ketogenic diet, and are overweight, then your body may be able to draw on your fat stores and prevent extra hunger. So keto may enhance the benefits of doing the things on that list.

But I think the main thing you can do to increase your BMR is just ensure that insulin is as low as possible as often as possible. The effect of those Top 10 Things is probably negligible compared to just lowering your insulin.

Keto only needs to raise raise BMR by like 20 calories per day to undo the entire obesity epidemic, if everyone were to do it. That's probably at the limits of even being able to measure, and despite the headlines, I think it's what the NUSI study #1 showed.
