You're talking about a different case where you have a backup of the latest wallet. Which doesn't match the scenario I've stated.
No, I'm talking about a backup of a HD wallet, made at any time.

I have, in fact, either written or reviewed all of the Bitcoin Core wallet code.



This guide feels very much "do a bunch of magic and it magically works", without understanding why any of it actually works.

I would expect that, if rescan did not work, a keypoolrefill followed by a rescan would be enough. Importing anything should be completely unnecessary. I also want to point out that importing your change addresses will result in breaking change detection.
