Great post! I've been having problems with excessive nesting, so #5 was really helpful!

You're welcome. Agreed, excessive nesting is an usual problem. But you could solve it by using async/await syntax, or extract standalone functions from nesting as much as possible.

The operators >, <, <= and >= look similar to the fat arrow =>.

This can be mitigated in the editor by using a code editing font with ligatures, like FiraCode.

You kept things simple by pointing all of the good things about the arrow functions. I really like them because they improve the code readability a lot and some time reduces number of lines we need to write.
Some times I am so obsessed with saving some characters that I avoid name inference (without thinking much about I would ever need to debug this arrow function) which is problematic in debug session.

A good approach is to keep the things as simple as possible, but without compromising clarity.

In case of an inline arrow function, you could skip the name inference because the function is too simple. In other cases, if the function does many things, a good practice is to apply the name inference to say in a few words what the function does.

JetBrains Mono not bad.

Took a try with JetBrains Mono, and indeed it's easier to distinguish the fat arrow =>:
