Default Spring Maintenance Items - Advice

Bought the car in October. Went into storage in Nov... anticipating spring tune-up.
Before putting it into storage I changed the oil, all filters, alignment, and fixed the CV joint.
When it comes out of storage I'll be replacing the plugs, doing another oil change, new tires, new brakes (pads, rotors, ss lines) - I'll flush the fluid at same time.
Clutch fluid was replaced in fall 2015 with new master and slave cylinders.

Questions:

DIff Fluid and Transmission Fluid was last replaced in spring 2015. 10k miles ago. Should it be done again?
Coolant was last flushed in spring 2016. Thoughts on intervals for this?

What other maintenance items am I missing here given the car is new to me?

Don't forget to make sure your rotors aren't warped.

IMO, you are going way overboard. Kudos for changing fluids before storage. But they are fine. Just drive.

Change the plugs if you are 100k miles, otherwise just drive.

Charge the battery. Then drive. Did you add fuel stabilizer? If not, get some good fuel injector cleaner (techron), and add that to tank now. If any deposits from evaporated fuel on injectors, this should get rid of it.

Did you do the rear axle nut retorque? What about a valve adjustment? Do those if not.

Don't use an aftermarket cv axle!!! They are junk. Either get yours rebuilt locally, or get the Ballade rebuilt ones. Or buy Honda oem.

Replace clutch fluid in mc reservoir every other oil change. Gravity bleed it now as part of spring tune up.

Thanks!

I do have stabil in the tank but I may run some techron anyways.
I have not done rear axle nut retorque or valve adjustment - two items I'll look at.
CV was replaced with OEM in Nov last year.

Replacing rotors with new...
