Changing your login URL is not a security measure, it is more for customizing the login experience. For changing the login URL we would recommend taking a look at our article below :)

I would add that it is a good idea to change the WP login URL, using a plugin like:

WPS Hide Login

I use a custom login for each WP site I build using this plugin. This goes a long way (along with login rate limiters as you mentioned, etc.) to block hacking attempts.

I prioritize website security above all else, but honestly, even I have probably never implemented so many different measures to make WordPress harder to breach. I dare say that if someone applies even 50% of the solutions and techniques you’ve listed, their site will be practically bulletproof.
