Jessica got one of her X chromosomes from the Baron, and Alia got one of hers from Jessica. Does that not work?

Not just him, the Bene Gesserit knew the same thing, so did other factions. Would the others work? Unlikely.

Spice was finite, it was used to travel, once the spice ran out, it was only time until humanity was ended.

Humanity got to Arrakis without spice, it'd survive one way or another

Spice had more than one use….
