There's an Anki Deck on "The 20 rules of formulating knowledge [in SRS]". It's highly recommended for frequent Anki users. Here's some examples:
So it seems that many of the points you mention are addressed if you use Anki effectively. Your post makes sense though: In my impression 1) most people are not using it as effectively as they could 2) it's not obvious how to use it effectively 3) effective use of SRS takes time and practice. There's certainly also cases where it's just not always the best technique.

PS: I second the post on memory palaces, sounds really interesting!
While recommending the article I wouldn't recommend the deck because of cards like:
Front: redundancy can be performed by repeating information using...
Back: various methods
To me that card looks likes trouble.
True. In the deck they make a point about that it's okay to have really simple cards since those will take a very small share of your time. But some are just useless. I keep a finger on the delete-button while doing my flash cards.
The problem with the card is not that it's simple.
The problem is that even if I know that there method A, method B and method C for redundancy, my automatic answer to the question isn't various methods.
I might think of method A, sometimes I might think of method C. Because there's no clear answer the card doesn't lend itself to SRS. If I haven't seen the card in a year I won't think that the answer to it is "various methods" but I will think of more specific methods.
