Point 9 is well-intentioned, but perhaps needs to be clarified/rephrased: Developers should not be creating production-grade tables devoid of well-defined business keys, period. That would be regardless of whether they're used as de facto primary keys or simply as unique keys.
Although I appreciate your argument, I think we need a little foundation in reality. The "serial" key is the default primary key amongst every single web development environment in existence.
We can make an argument within the doc to why that can be bad, but to state that it is "wrong" is just not going to get you anywhere.
