Those are all good points.
1) By the time we would live that long, we'd arguably be mostly virtual, and spread throughout the universe. So space wouldn't be an issue.
2) Yes, we might be stuck in old ways. But we could tweak ourselves however we wanted. With backups, of course.
3) I'm sure that there'd be lots of biological reproduction, somewhere anyway, so evolution wouldn't stop.
4) Most of the SF that I've read posits that people will spend most of their time in stasis. Or in bobbles.
5) Yeah, it'd be a tough decision to make. But if we got to the point of living that long, one hopes that we'd be doing it in good health. And if felt like you needed a break, you could just sleep for a billion years :)
