I generally agree with you except for one thing:
A significant number of them may die of disease. There have been a few uncontacted tribe members that were forced to make contact with the outside world, and at least one died of TB: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=26225682776
This is quite similar to what happened in North America; the blankets with smallpox were highly unnecessary.
