Just a heads up for anyone like me who watches this video: The first 1:30 is a pedantic rant, but it’s actually really interesting once he gets to the point.

Basically, his claim is that forward head posture is actually spinal curvature combined with a compensating upward tilt in the neck. The result is that the exercises described in the OP would be unhelpful and potentially harmful.
