I have characters on both EU and JP and also lived in the 2 regions (started playing FF14 in Japan and now moved to Europe) so here are my 2 cents:

False. While there is less overt toxicity, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
If you fail, people might not kick you but they will disband and reform without you.
Result and meaning are the same - just the manner it's done is different XD

Japanese is also one one of these languages where insults work better when hidden behind a compliment.
I can say that you're a very energetic person when I mean you're annoying or that I can see you are really doing your best when I mean you're really terrible at your job.
So if you don't read the air, you might take things as compliment when they're really not

Somewhat true. I used to clear everything through PF on JP server in the past and cried a bit when moving to EU.
You use DF to learn a fight and PF to clear or reclear. Clear party and reclear parties do feel way more consistent.

Most of the time, there is ONE strategy, and you'll stick with it until then end of time, even if a new optimized version comes up.
Healers don't need to "adjust" XD

It's good or bad. I like having great structure for raids. But on the flipside so many times in dungeons we would do simple pulls when I barely see that in EU and I prefer the faster pace.

The JP server I am on is WAY more expensive that the EU server.
But I'm not a crafter, I don't make anything myself so I don't really care about undercutting personally

Again, because it might be less obvious doesn't mean it is not there.

Yeah I actually don't know. Don't care at all about housing XD
