If Angband had achievements/trophies, what would they be?

I recall talking to a game developer about this once. (Not about angband, but about how achievements are chosen.) It turns out, Achievements are mostly intended to reward the casual or beginning players, not the expert player. So most achievements are for really easy activities, with only a handful for difficult targets. Many are actually hints on ow to play th game. So an example would be "make first trip to level 7 or deeper and return, or "kill 5 uniques in one game".

Along those lines, maybe

Fast (achieve speed +10)
Faster (achieve speed +20)
Fastest (achieve speed +30)
OverAchiever (Kill a monster >10 levels out of depth)
...better part of valor (TO or banish a monster >10 levels out of depth)
Luck of the Valar (Hit points = 0)
Treasure Hunter (crack your first vault)
United Nations (play all races)
Jack of all trades (play all classes)
Superman (max all stats)
Exterminator (kill everything in a pit)
Packrat (fill your home with items found in the dungeon)
Packs a punch (do 1000 damage before monster gets to act)

Buffed! Use multiple kinds of buffing at the same time. But, yes, your examples are exactly the kind of thing MS recommends for achievements.

Holy Diva - reach dlvl 98 with a female green book character while being clvl 30 or less.

Big Game Hunter - kill 10 ood uniques on the same level.

Pink Floyd - get LOS to Qzzapljsgrusrg while hallucinating.
