As for 7, there are multiple scenarios in which we can stop the machine. There are many steps along the way in which we might see that things are not going as planned.

While there may be many scenarios "in which we can stop the machine" only few failures are sufficient for things to go pear shaped

This happened already with Sydney/Bing.

But not with LLaMA which has escaped.

We may never give it some crucial abilities it may need in order to be unstoppable.

The "we" implies some coherent group of humans but that is not the case. There is no "we" - only companies and governments with sufficient resources to push the boundaries. The boundaries will be inevitably pushed by investment, acquisition or just plain stealing.
