But the diesel aspect? Fuel additives? Treatment for generator since it is diesel also? Run generator or idle engine every month? Keep tank full?

Advice from current DP owners who deal with winter storage very much appreciated!

Diesel is your best friend. You've got the winterizing down. Diesel is a very stable fuel and will be good for months and months. Keep tank full to minimize condensation, run generator monthly with a load...all is good! Diesel has the necessary additive packages in it today...unlike it was years ago with the gelling problems.
