But if there is nothing but black holes, the particles end up falling back in. Take that, Hawking!

Fun idea! But space keeps on expanding. So at some point most mass will be in black holes, but every black hole will be so far from every other black hole that even light will travel forever without ever being able to reach another.

No, eventually all black holes are expected to evaporate, with only particles floating around so spaced out no more black holes will form.
