I think we will need to adapt those rules for our situation. For
example, 'Use articles such as "a/an" and "the" wherever possible'
troubles me. The distinction between definite and indefinite articles
seems very natural to people whose first language makes that
distinction, but many languages do not.

Agreed.
Another way use simple language is to use tried and tested techniques
like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Technical_English - or
take inspiration from them.
The 11 rules there are specifically meant for technical writing but
I'm sure they also help in our context.
