Re. term limits on jobs, I think this is a cool idea. But I don’t know that I’d expect that to be implemented, which makes want to disambiguate between the questions:
Would the ideal society have immortality?
Would immortality make our society better?
My guesses would be “yes” to A, and a very tentative “no” to B. Of course if there was a now-or-never moment of choosing whether to get immortality, one might still like to have it now, but it seems like maybe we’d ideally wait until society is mature enough that it can handle immortality well before granting it.

I don’t have well-formed views on these questions myself, but yeah, I think #2 is a more important question than #1 right now.
