I cover my carrots with a board, here in southern California. Our usual lack of humidity and full sun will dry out the top layer of mulch/soil pretty quickly, and it's just easier to cover them than to have half not germinate/die because the soil dried to the point that they couldn't break through. The other things on your list I wouldn't worry about as much (although I tend to start my lettuce indoors, it just starts better for me). I would assume NV is similar weather-wise.
