I love the idea of Iko being the ultimate girlboss post-series. Imagine how excited tiny pear-shaped Iko would be if she got to meet escort-droid Iko!
iko will see all crew dying oh my god...probably after cinder dies she'd want to close her system but crew's children convince her ithink
Over time, her AI would continually advance, and with it her sense of mortality. Humans do not want the burden of immortality if it means seeing everyone die, and I think she'd feel the same. I think at some point she would die, whether or not it's alongside her friends or much later is up to the imagination.
Remember also, Androids can die. If their software is damaged like in The Little Android, they will expire. And Iko was killed in W&N volume 2 when her personality chip was crushed. So perhaps over time her escort body stops working, and with technology changes, her personality chip becomes incompatible with modern androids. Maybe there's a power surge that fries her personality chip. Or maybe she decides not to backup her personality to a fresh chip, accepting that if her current system were to fail, she'd be ready to let go.
In any case, the older she gets, the human she'd get. Maybe her final act of being human would be doing what all humans do.
