I personally think the most likely and most desirable outcome would be a computer world (I wanted ecumenopolis separate but there weren't enough poll options). I think it'll be a mix of a bunch of things, but mainly a computer world mixed with extra matrioshka layers and a massive museum complex, which will probably be disassembled eventually but only after a really really long time, until so much time as passed that it's irrelevant and people care more about spare resources nit yet ravaged by entropy. My reasoning for the computer part is for the first few eons at least earth will be very relevant, and tourists, scholars, and pilgrims from all across the galaxy will flock to it and every inch of Holy Terra's sacred surface will need to be utilized with perfect efficiency. They may even take the core and mantle to build more computers around the crust where all the action was. They can live in historically accurate simulations of earth's past and be close to in-tact ancient artifacts and immortal people from way back in the early days, with the oldest native earthlings getting the closest spots. I don't personally think the paradise planet route makes much sense because as a byproduct of its inefficiency only the rich few could ever enjoy humanity's home, whereas computing space is very efficient and more people can live there and choose their simulation rather than have a set environment.
