I definitely get the point. I often have the urge to use destructuring for saving space, but want to kick myself when revisiting the code a month or two later. I like your rules, thanks for sharing.

I definitely agree with the spirit of the article: you can take this too far.

The real benefit of destructuring isn't really brevity, per se, IMO, but easy extensibility. You all of a sudden need two or three properties from the same object at the same level? You just reference the additional properties on the left side without any fuss.
