I think that the Crossing may be more of a rite of passage... If competition is such a big problem, would it not also apply to other kinds of prey - so that Blue becomes an attractive hunting ground, with or without humans?
That's what I always thought. With the massive and monstrous predators on Green, it always seemed that the dangerous trip to Blue would be worth it even before the humans arrived.

Jahlee's comments about being just a little girl when she was "put on the lander" on Green: I don't mind sticking with my original reading, that she's just pretending here.
I can't recall, was the lander at Pajarocu Auk's? Or was his the one Horn ended up in on Green?

I can see what you mean with this, but the ending of RTTW is to me more triumphant & less elegaic than Ulysses. I take away an image of Silkhorn sailing thru the galaxy spreading justice & good stuff, not going to meet some heroic end.
No, that's what would have happened if they had stayed, if by "heroic end" you mean being assassinated or martyred.
