I wouldn't WANT the new organisms to be able to survive in the wild!
What if they are *better* at incorporating biomass and using energy than
conventional life is?

That would be the whole idea ;-)

We might as well postpone the demise of DNA-protein-
based life for as long as reasonably possible - to
avoid the loss of important know-how.
