- Rainbow parenthesis
Too much noise. And the example is great demonstration for it. It's better than gray parenthesis, but a lot of worse than properly structured and indented sections.
- Context Highlighting
Love it. But once again - too much noise for text colors. Just highlight line numbers of nesting level your cursor is in. Indent-blankline[1] plugin for neovim does this (with use of treesitter), but it highlights the virtual indentation lines.

- Import highlighting
I think it's impractical, because imports are often grouped together at the start of file, but symbols are all over the place and you'd only see highlight on very short files.
LSP "goto definition" is already a better fit here, a bit more immediate solution is to display namespace/import path in status bar. No id

ea if there's any plugins for this, but should be easy to hack together in an hour.
- Argument Highlighting
Kinda useful, but also gets less useful for longer functions. IMHO doesn't worth it to add whole extra color to a limited palette or it might turn into in-cohesive mess rather quickly.
- Type Highlighting
Could be taken one step further and highlight atomic types in lighter shade and more complex types (not only lists) in darker shade.
nit: example being Python feels a bit out of place here
- Exception Highlighting
