Followed a tip by @linouk and tried adding a "Shut Down..." shortcut (Fn+F12) in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Apps Shortcuts. Any ideas why it didn't work? Did I miss something?

Yes, as the panel states, "Enter the exact name of the menu command you want to add."
As far as why "fn + F12" doesn't work, it's preassigned to "Show Dashboard".
Tried to link his/her tip in my post, but it seems that didn't work out either :(
Here's essentially the same instructions as those of linouk's:

I followed the steps exactly but my laptop wouldn't execute the command.
Without knowing who @linouk is or what his tip was, and whether you followed it correctly assuming it works, it's hard to say.
Not working for me either.
Well, I'm using Finnish as the system language, so "Shut Down..." is not what reads in my Apple Menu for shutdown. Once I realised that the menu title has to match that of the shutdown menu, in my case "Sammuta...", I tried that. Surprisingly, it did work when I defined "Option+O" for the shortcut, but didn't work with "F12" (Fn+F12). Eventually, I defined it as "Option+Command+S", which seems a convenient combination for me.
So, if your Mac uses a language other than English, go check the Apple Menu for the name of the shutdown menu title. Now use that exact title for creating a shutdown shortcut (you don't need to include the three dots "...").
Hope this solves the problem :)
