RE: How crucial are H1 tags and descriptions in wordpress categories?
H1 tags are very important aspect of SEO, because they give a clear indication what products or services are being sold on that page. So do make sure save you have say a WordPress website, that you add H1 title to each page. Even if you have had your website built by a web designer, and they haven't added H1 titles, often, you simply add these titles later on, its a piece of cake, especially if you have a WordPress website.

When you're writing the alt text for an image, simply write the alt text to describe what the picture is. Some web designers just label the picture 01- example, yet, to improve your SEO, its good to say what is in the picture for example a man eating an apple and write the alt text, just like that, man eating apple.

RE: Wild fluctuations in ranking, any thoughts on why or what to do about it?
I think i quickly answered this, but to provide a more detailed answer, after the Google Helpful Content update, businesses really seen massive changes in where they ranked on Google.
So, we had updates, in the past, Google Penguin, etc, targeting link spam. This update was different,
The Google helpful content update looked at how useful, how much does the written work, meet the standards set out in Google E-EAT.
So, our best advice would be, contact an SEO company, for some advice, which pages/ blog posts are weak, need improving, make gradual improvements, improve the whole websites content marketing, over time rankings should improved.
However, word of advice, do consult with an expert SEO consultant on this, as if the improvements are not done right, rankings can drop further. so hire the best SEO company, and get good advice, as rankings can drop, as well as move up.
