All of these are great signals IF present, but IMO not beyond.
I have a decent track record in the software industry (FAANG and other), but I don't tend to work beyond work (the results of which are mostly private). Likewise, I've worked with amazing developers who prefer to focus on family/hiking/baking/etc. in their free time over OSS/private projects.
It's great if you have the passion to go above and beyond in your free time, but it shouldn't be expected.
