My current thinking is that the cornerstone of such an approach is
doing lots of low intensity aerobic exercise such as walking, plus
calisthenics based strength training.


Yoga, Tai Chi, swimming and resistance training all seem worthwhile.

I am aware that there is some scant evidence that living on calorie
restricted diet (1500 or so calories per day all the time) also can
help one live longer.


There's better evidence for that than for practically any other
intervention. Maybe more evidence for it than all other
interventions combined!

It is most likely to affect longevity. The effects on QOL vary.
