Hm, I see your point but I can't quite suspend my disbelief that far. Angel, Willow and Giles views don't really seem to contradict itself, so I'm more leaning towards thinking the reader is meant to go with it at the very least as a red hering.
And the whole thing is too much on center stage to be similar satire as the Zeppo Hellmouth scenes. If this is satire the whole thing becomes solely a parody of itself and that would be a sad ending for Buffy.
What I can see is it being something akin to Jasmin land but that too was indeffinitely better done.
Like I said, for me at least it's not like Joss wants to do the exact same thing Moore does, or that he should be doing that, but more that some aspects of S8 are takes on similar motifs and they fail to intrigue.
