I don't really like the proposed alternative scenario, but then, I think you all already knew that.

Give them what they want, no matter how ordinary:
Whenever Mal and Inara started fighting, I was just waiting for someone to faint from the overwhelming power of their unresolved sexual tension...

Closure is overrated.

I'm not one for that scenario myself. I agree that Zoe being pregnant in the comics is not bad, I just don't think adds as much to the story as it hinders it. If the story line continues you will always have to account for the baby, even when the story has nothing to do with them. Yes, you can get some stories out of having the child on ship, but those are all fairly predictable.

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

I actually figured this meant Zoe was going to leave Serenity. Didn't really see anyone else from the crew with her in Float Out.

I think Joss actually cribbed a lot of his ideas that he used for Dollhouse from his plans for Firefly. So I think something that might have happened is that the same Alliance guys that work on the Pax try to use it again or create another form of mind control but it goes wrong again, and you end up with with entire populations of planets devastated with blank or hyperaggressive populations. Zoe is planet side in a post-apocalyptic scenario, with a kid trying to help a bunch of people fend off the crazed mobs, kind of like how Dewitt and Sierra ended up in a prairie home tending a garden.
