s/for your country/if you live in the US/. American tax law has a lot of complexity that makes this good advice; other countries largely don't have the things you mention.
"80/20" are defined in relative terms, so it still makes sense if the overall complexity of your tax system is smaller.
Only if the money saved / effort expended ratio is similar, and I don't think it is. The original post was "simple changes can often save several thousand dollars a year"; that's distinctly not true in (many) non-US countries.
