If you like speed as much as I do :

1. Total Space. Setup shortcuts and disable transitions

2. Disable (or speed up) OSX animation (I don't have the commands on my phone, just Google it)

3. iTerm and window splitting (Cmd d) and switch (Cmd [ or ])

4. And The REAL time saver : Keyboard Maestro Create at least one macro per app. I assigned shortcuts like

Cmd Shift L - iTerm

Cmd Shift / - Atom

Cmd Shift ' - Chrome

Ctrl Shift < - Finder

Ctrl Shift M - Mailbox

And so (Xcode, Slack etc.)

Then I pur each app in fullscreen (Ctrl Cmd F).

Now I have O(1) access over my computer \o/

Edit: disclaimer I'm a vim user

For the application shortcuts, is there an advantage over activating spotlight (cmd + space) and typing the first few letters of the application name?

I've been thinking about making screenflow workflows to open up a set of files, which could be quite powerful.

Yes. For those you often switch (eg Atom > Chrome > Atom). O(1) access FTW.

I use Spotlight for app I launch but don't really switch Mostly CSGO, Heroes of The Storm, Mumble and TS (Games!)

Actually I use shortcut a lot more for switching than for launching. For instance I launch atom from iTerm. A standard flow could be code, test, terminal commit, chat on Slack/IRSSI, IDE.
