I probably wouldn't use the same terminologies, and IMO, you have a
few "slightly imprecise" conceptual problems, but in general, this is
merely a minor variant of the largely concenusal opinion among those
who consider such, at this time.

A few minor revisions you may want to consider;

1) look to the antipodal of the impact site for the formation of the
first super-continent

2) look at the injection of lighter element phosphorus "injections"
into the deep mantle/outer core regions (the impactor core (as well as
the atmospheric density attenuation) may have provided the "critical
mass" heavy elements to push us over from being a tectonically
sporadic planet, to being one of the most tectonically active bodies
in the solar system (something I'd be willing to share credit for to a
large primary satellite, whose orbital center especially early after
it's formation, was in the upper mantle of it's primary ;-)

3) Though I suspect that life probably evolved prior to the
lunar-forming impact event. I suspect that the only life to survive
this event were some extremeophiles in a deep hot-rock environment.
All of the lessor variants were destroyed in the impact. In the
cleared environment (and it would greatly complicate matters of other
technological civilizations if such depends upon a duplication of this
aspect) the surviving extremeophiles fill the available ecosystem
eliminating competition from alternative RNA/DNA variants (now if
we're talking a survivor life-form from the impactor, we're anding yet
additional complications to the commonplace life arguments. If life as
we understand it requires abiogensis upon a small gravity world, but
then requires cultivation upon a high gravity, specially prepared,
long term tectonically active world to yield a likely crop of
metazoic, self-aware, technologically complex life-form, we may find
lots of mindless, genetically diverse, competing goo planets, but very
few where such as we exist).
;-)

much more but, you raise a potentially interesting discussion that
should be periodically, if not repeatedly, engaged upon, at least
within the topical bounds of this newsgroup, which should serve well.
;-)
