are these basic on-page SEO rules still working? Google is not dumb are they?

Hi, in many places I have read those on-page SEO "basic rules" like putting your keyword in H1, H2, H3 and making it bold at least 1 time, also underline at least 1 time, etc

are those "rules" still working? I was just thinking that is something really simply for Google who I believe are super smart to "detect" and ignore

do you personally post "clean unbolded" articles or you put effort to make stuff bold/italic/underline, etc?

it would also help if someone know the answer 100% maybe through experimentation if you could mention that.

Thank you
