I focus on SEARCH INTENT
When delivering the value the searcher INTENDS TO GET, I focus on this question: how many times should the keyword or its variants be NATURALLY MENTIONED?

yes, it does. you need to find the right balance as compared to the top sites in the niche....
you can easily test it out, by going crazy across each tag by putting lots of that particular keyword, and you will see your ranking going down the tube.... on the other hand, you can remove that keyword, and you will notice the same thing.

Most SEO experts agree that the ideal keyword density is around 1-2%. This means that the target keyword appears about once or twice every 100 words. At this rate, the keyword appears enough times to show search engines the content of the page without keyword stuffing.

hello, so the keyword density only matters in page body contents? it doesnt take into account like in meta tags right?

Yes it matters.
Meta Title helps with SEO
Meta Descriptions helps with CTR - so write your content smartly considering your requirements (local SEO) and character limit for each.

Yes, but it's always better to keep slugs as short as possible.

It does matter alot , but the main part is not the meta tags and description as it more to white hat seo , Like citations and other white hat links !
