Brandon Sanderson does a great job with his prologues. They mostly follow these rules as you describe here. Excellent world building!

what if your prologue is from the pov your main protagonist, but it takes place over a hundred years ago? protag and antag have extended lifespans

How can one make a good multi-POV story with two characters in different parts of the same timeline?

What is the best way to introduce a cast of characters? My current project has a main cast of six, with of course one as the "main guy", so to speak.

What would you call the ‘prologue’ that Donna Tartt writes in The Secret History? Is this still a prologue?

by far my favorite prologue is romance dawn of one piece, it sets the tone for the entire series and shows you how cool the pirate crews of this world

Can a prologue/ epilogues be used to tell different stories that give pieces of their own stories across the books in a series and when the side stories are completed, they twist the understanding of the main story and reveal something new?

The Way of Kings has a fantastic prologue that sets up expectations for far later in the series
