A lot of the specific things you’ve mentioned make a lot of sense.
Generally, I would be cautious about asking for help in contexts where review and/or supervision will be necessary or your reliance on the volunteer could be detrimental. People are often excited to help and overstate what they actually can do. Often the value of the time involved with dealing with volunteers is far more valuable than what they produce.
Important point RE volunteers! I can be much faster to just do things yourself than to train a completely new person. With volunteers it can be hit and miss, but sometimes you can stumble upon a reliable volunteer, especially for short-term projects!
