Helping trillions of people who have never known the light of the Star Child or any other form of hope, compassion, or happiness in this grimdark universe is a far more worthy goal than just living a few centuries more.
This is what we've been doing the entire quest, let's go out with a bang.

Sending out missionaries... I'm leaning towards this, since faith in the Star Child has real tangible benefits for very little effort. Same reason I really like the Love Unto Death song.
Also, this is seems new and fun/scary!
THeYy cAn SEeeE uSs... - A Choir can summon a Void Titan during battle if this is Sung. It is advised that your fleets run the second the Choir has finished Singing it.

The Lionstooth spreads its seed.
Adding a big wide component to our Iconoclast tall build.
Eternity in the blessed certainty of steel.
Don't need Rejuvenat if that which is damaged by age is replaced by steel.
Plus the other benefits of augmentation.
And those that don't want heavy augmentation can take Rejuvenat. (As long as there aren't too many)

1. Well...Yes.
2. It does!
3. You'll have to ask smarter people than me for that one.
4. A brain will still rot eventually. But that can be extended. The Memoria option is full Unshackled Minds In Unlimited Unshackling Bodies.

My potential vote is in this option.

I am for pilgrim fleets.
It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to think that rich few (Federation) get to live in comfort, possibly eternally, while rest of galaxy suffers.
Feels to close to home.

Oh wow, Vote time again. Yippee. Also, the streak of incredibly tough decisions continues with this vote.
Wait, hold up, I didn't think people were taking that one seriously. The 60 DP Equipment module kind of sucked up a lot of the points, and I mostly put it on there just to see if it could be done. Your design is a lot more sensible and mostly where I would have taken it I decided to go with the non-meme option. My only caveat being that if I had made the decision to cut down on the meme I would have tried to put the Arboretums on there to make it more self-sustaining as opposed to the temperature controls since anyone invading a Battleship containing an entire army is probably already either winning the battle or about to win.
Otherwise, kudos to you. You took a pretty ridiculous build and made it much more sensible.

Look, I'm not really in favor or against anything in particular, but Rejuvenat is not immortality, lol
It extends things tremendously, but our dudes are gonna die, just a fair bit later than everything else.
I'm cool with other options but let's not put things where they aren't.
As for us being the rich few, uh, yes, but that's literally already the case. I don't know how to say it, but we live already way better, because we fought for it, bled for it, and died for it. I don't think the comparative status super matters here because uh, we already do a lot of aid and stuff.
If you want to go for further, beyond the Sector, sure, but do note we've also been doing a lot of missionary and aid work already, hence why we have Star Child cults in the Councils and the Van Zandts. We haven't been sitting on our hands — even after being comparatively bottled up.

So the first option seems likely to have diplomatic consequences and potentially lead to further unification.
The second option...maybe pop growth?
And the third option goes full transhuman, including "unshackled minds". Possibly seems like the most xenophilic option? I wonder how it would interact with the Star-Child's narrative and how it defines humanity...

Change doesn't require death - and we're far more likely to end up with "an eternal gentocracy" with an unequal rejuvenant distribution than if we give it to everyone equally. (Also, it's 400 to 500 years of life expectancy, not immortality). That 35% coverage currently still leaves a majority of 65% of our population who get ruled over by their far longer-lived betters, with little to no recourse.
Given how absurdly expensive the research to improve rejuvenant is normally, we either take this perk now for near-100% coverage, or lock in an eternal inequality in our society of who gets hundreds of years more life than others. That's an immense injustice right there, and it's absolutely worth getting rid of completely.

This fits us too well not to pick it. It's what our religion is about, going out and unfucking the galaxy. Helping humans and xeno's everywhere we can and bringing light to the grim dark.

I am seeing it repeated a few times by now, but I want to chime in and say that the 35% Juvenat is not "35% of your population gets 100% of the Juvenat and the rest gets none." It means that you could do so, but generally most people get a century more if they spend a few years working for it. Only your Hymnals and Blanks automatically get the full 500 years.

This is the best improvement to our citizen's quality of life that we can make. Everyone gets to live centuries longer, universally. That's a massive source of prosperity and equality.
If you need a more pragmatic angle, consider how this is a massive coup for external relations. If people know that if they joined, they'd get to live five times as long? Or that with the Glimmering Federation's help, their planet could have something similar? They'd be far more willing to work with and/or join us.

Sure, long life is nice and all, but have you considered FUCK CHAOS?
Also we still have XX medical to work on, which should benefit lifespans, though probably in a different way than juvenat

Honestly this just seems like the rejuvenat option but better, so that gets my vote.
Sure even this is not full immortality, but it should buy a heck of a lot more than 500 years, even regular ole Mechanicus Magi can manage 500 years, and I assume this is beyond even them.
Also, it unlocks transhumanism for everyone, and that I am 1000% down with
