I am not sure, I actually think they could make it work, sure Simon might not be that interested in staying on the ship, but I hardly sees a chance for him and River to move back to the core, just because the bounties are gone, they could probably still be on the computer networks(the more non-civilian parts) unless something happens that completely changes the Alliance and the big companies, or a new government rises from the ashes of the old alliance.
and I think River would encourage Simon, and helps Kaylee then Simon´s foot finds its way to his mouth again

Bringing this up again, :) things have definitely changed a little since the new short stories.
Select to view spoiler:
We know from Crystal that at least Kaylee will have a happy ending. It also looks like she's going to have Kaylee-lings at some point.
It reminds me of something Sean once said about the movie, "If there's ever a sequel, I picture it opening with Serenity going down in flames and Kaylee pregnant."
Maybe after the Serenity movie, Joss started going soft and decided he might actually give some of his characters happy endings. I mean two of his characters in Dollhouse against all odds ended up with Babies Ever After. Since when does THAT happen in a Whedon show?

Maybe he'll have mercy and not kill off another character in Firefly who's currently under the axe. >_>

I think they will make it, if only for the reason everyone thinks Joss will end it. He's always liked to surprise us.
Realistically, I see a rocky road ahead of them and a lot of conflict. The may be adorable, but they ain't perfect. Simon will probably make Kaylee feel inferior and Kaylee will poke at Simon's insecurities, but they've always bounced back eventually.
The first major obstacle would be River. River is the center of Simon's world and that may never change. Of course Kaylee couldn't hate him for that, but she would get awfully frustrated with him. She might even take it out on him, making River angry at her, and placing poor Simon in the middle. But River wants her brother to be happy and Kaylee's heart is big enough for both siblings, so I think they would work it out in the end. River would probably be the reason their relationship works, if only because her presence will keep Simon from leaving the ship. River loves serenity as much as Kaylee and even though she's gotten a little better since miranda, she'll still need looking after.
The class issue would be another amusing conflict, but I don't believe that would break them. I could see Kaylee having trouble learning not to compare her self to the shiney core standards she's infatuated with (which I suspect was her original attraction to the young doctor). I could also see Simon trying to 'educate' Kaylee on how to be a proper lady and having that go very badly. Based off of Kaylee's complaining to Simon about letting people beat him up in Janyestown, I could see Simon having issues proving he isn't weak and is worthy of Kaylee's affection, even if he's really only needing to convince himself. I mean, the poor guys is constantly getting punched or kidnapped or something. That can't be good for his self esteem.
I think Kaylee is month's ahead of Simon in there relationship mentally and emotionally (if they started one after the BDM) but I still think Simon cares for her. Early's threats wouldn't have kept Simon in line if he didn't care for Kaylee almost as much as his sister. At that time Simon's loyalties were (probably still are) to his sister, not the crew. I can see amusing conflict with Kaylee hearing wedding bells and Simon feeling overwhelmed by her in their new relationship.
hmmm.... the post is already longer than I intended.
Anyway, to sum it up, their relationship should last and it should include plenty for fights and conflict, possibly more so than with Mal and Inara. I think they will make it and wind up sharing a bunk with Simon having to spend the night on the common room couch at least a couple times a month. I can also see their sexcapades leading to a pregnancy and a shotgun wedding, providing more drama as they are forced into escalating their relationship before either is prepared. But I think they will make it in the end. 'Course, I also want them to make it, so that might cloud my judgment.
Simon and Kaylee were meant to be together gorramit, it just weren't meant to be easy!

I like when the couples fight too. :)
*pelted with popcorn*
I also like all the established couples best. Joss might've thrown us a few curveballs later on, every pairing you can imagine has it's troubles but each of the established pairings complement each other well in many ways. Also: chemistry. So I like them best. Maybe I'm just unoriginal. :)
