Yes, I'd add that (realism).  And here is my own list
of suggested additions in response to Rafal's query.
Here in this list I haven't explicitly distinguished Rafal's
original list (the top 6), and Serafino's (the bottom one)
from the rest of mine. Serafino's "realism" probably does
overlap a lot with my "scientific materialism and reductionism".
