I think I know what Whedon is planning on Buffy or his end-game. He wants to tell the tale of how Buffy closed the door on the demons. How she changed the verse for good or ill.
Interesting spec. In a recent interview Joss said that s9 will be very different. After reading your analysis I think that s9 could feature the society similar to the Alliance in Serenity - the society that tries to achieve peace by neutralizing all aggressive impulses in people.
So far, I read only one work of fiction that tried to explore such situation - Lem's Return from the Stars - and it was a fascinating read.
I wonder if Joss would like to explore the idea further. He was definitely interested in it when he did Serenity.
(oh - and I want to add that your discussion with Maggie was very enriching. Thank you!)
