Even if there is some limit to economic growth in the distant future, is that necessarily a bad thing? It might be that, by the time we reach this limit, society would be so prosperous that we would see no reason to exceed it.

This seems possible, yes, though if it is the case, I think we ought to prepare for that eventuality somewhat ahead of time, so that we don’t encounter a nasty shock when the time comes.
