Very interesting and well worded thoughts. It's great your passion for River Song is creating an interesting avenue for you to explore the themes of Who.
If I can just address the nature of River's fate. We were shown a domestic setting but her (after) life isn't that bleak or static.
It's stated that from within the computer simulation they can explore all of the books stored in the database and that's a lot of books!
Not only do they have every work of fiction but all the history books, able to travel through time as easily as they turn a page. Just imagine how much there is to explore and experience. It would keep them busy until the point where the computer systems degraded and granted them a final death.
Don't forget the Doctor's statement 'You're in a library. Look me up.'
River will be able to spend some time with her time lord when she misses him too much.
Compared to living the rest of your life as a paving slab being able to explore all of eternity without fear of dying seems pretty wonderful.
