None of these is a show stopper, they can all be addressed and need
not even prevent a useful refactoring tool from existing without
addressing some of them.  However, considering Xcode's indexing and
search are still problematic after many years, I wouldn't hold my
breath for symbol based refactoring, and probably wouldn't really
trust it either.

So are you suggesting that theoretically none of the quality of Obj-C would pose problem for a full re-factoring tool to be developed?

I am not "suggesting" anything "theoretically". I have incontrovertible *practical proof* that the problems of dynamic typing do not prevent practical refactoring tools from being written, as the first and still foremost refactoring tool is the Refactoring Browser created for Smalltalk.
