or maybe I should just drop the second point entirely...
That depends whether you are optimising for world saving advice or social signalling.
In the current form it doesn’t seem cultish so much as it seems blatantly obvious. To be honest the part about synergy and sharing actually struck me as more cultish.
In my geographical area, I know only about 10 people who might be described as trying to save the world. I would hate to have that small a pool of potential friends.
Also, I think spending time on non-world-saving activities is essential to my mental health. Some of that off time happens with friends who aren’t interested in saving the world. That’s fine.

It is fine. Just so long as it is not intended as any more than tangentially relevant to the grandparent.
Not if maintaining my mental health (via social connections) is important to my ability to save the world.
