If an exercise is worth doing and working for me then I do it everyday.
The S&S warmup is considered the bare minimum that works for nearly everybody so if the side planks are working for you then keep at it. Also, you can use a grease the groove method here and just perform them throughout the day, 7 days per week.
The lateral band walks are what you need here. Turning on the glutes and glute medius will help your IT band to calm down more effectively than foam rolling.

Do you typically add these exercise to your warm ups or are these exercises you add as rehab/prehab on light or "off" days?

I have incorporated side planks as part of my warm up but removed them to focus on the SFG recommended warm up.

I will work on foam rolling my calves, quads, and IT band to hopefully release the area and improve mobility. I will also work on strengthening my glute medius via mini-band walks
