I read somewhere a statement saying you should have two internal links to your homepage in your article. Cannot find the source despite I spent an hour searching, so what are your thoughts on this?

Unnecessary Interlinking is not Good. Always try to Build Clean & Logical Backlinks with Quality.
 
You have those out of the box.

1. Branding/Logo
2. And I'm more than sure you have "HOME" Button in the menu.

You must be confused with some guru technic that bullshits you to make infinite interlinking so the crawler will never leave your site. And its bad practice.

Your homepage is like more powerful than your internal posts, so what's the point of linking to a stronger page from a weaker page? Actually, the reverse should be the case if you want to transfer power/juice.
 
Linking to the HP adds value to it in terms of making it clear to bots what's the most important page of your site. Some sites focus on internal pages more than the HP, so it is definitely useful to link to the HP whenever you can, but 1 link from a certain page is enough. Of course, 1 link from the content section. You always have the main menu, the footer link, and the logo link, but those are sitewide links and have nothing to do with the content section of a particular page.
 
There is no hard rule like this. These are all assumed value based on what looks natural. Do a search in your niche, see the top 10 result and find out, are all ranking website doing the same? And you will get the answer
 
Of course, not all websites are doing the same, if they did - you could just copy that strategy, increase the content, links, and citations, and you could easily get to page 1 or position 1.

These are assumptions, given that we don't have clear ranking factors by Google, but the assumptions that make sense cannot harm your site but can increase the value of it. In the worst scenario, nothing will happen. But if you do logical things, in the end, you will do the right thing.
 
If your homepage is the most important page of your website, your money page, the page you need to rank, then it makes sense. Otherwise don't.
