The only ones which are not OK are the clove hitch without a backup and the flat overhand on a bight (pic 1) that will roll under load.
And, unless you plan to wander off route, a fixed focused anchor (tied off cordelette) is safer than a sliding X which can extend (if even a little with the stopper knots) if one anchor fails. But I would tie it with a figure-8 rather than overhand.
I'm not sure I would trust the shelf brackets, though, for anchors. Trees or bolts are preferred.
And, yes, double biners at the master point are the standard, but opposed not necessary with lockers.
