The real danger is putting the coaches you describe into actual administrative positions. That's when things get dicey. The road is littered with examples.

All but 7 & 8 are giant red flags. Depending on the age, 7 & 8 may be fine. My kid attends every practice, and that should count for something, but top players sometimes need to miss practice.
But the first 6, I’d talk to the club’s TD.
