Helper IIDataflow Best Practices
Hi there. Microsoft has some articles about some practices. I don't think they have answer for all your questions, but you can navigate through them to deep dive into dataflows.

Naming conventions can replicate practices from azure. Like dfw-[name]. You can also start with licence in case you have premium and pro dataflows at different workspaces. I don't think there is something related to version control. That's something I have complained before and there is no planning. I would say get in the advanced editor, copy the code to a plain text file with ".pq" extension and store it in a repo. It's not a nice practice, but at least it's something to control the version of code.
I hope that helps,
