These parts from that guide is quite dangerous:

For example
Code:
p2wpkh-p2sh:5BitcoinPrivateKey
This should generate the corresponding p2wpkh-p2sh bitcoin address.
Code:
p2wpkh:5PrivateKey
This should generate the corresponding Bech32 address
Using uncompressed keys to generate SegWit addresses will lead to loss of funds.
Although new versions of Electrum (old versions does) and most wallets wont allow it, it's better not to use uncompressed keys (starts with '5') as an example.

I usually don't want to waste time in complicated  Bitcoin wallets normal wallet is enough and I much confident with Blockchain wallet than other wallets sorry if My perception is wrong to you.
Electrum is as complicated as "blockchain" online wallet.
Actually, when it comes with restoring from seed and other recovery procedures, blockchain is more complicated.
