Molly

That is the way to make really hell break loose and shock everything. Molly will be totally unprepared for her new role but she will be able to bumb Ramirez and get a few nice changelings as spare ladies.

Does it have to be Mab who dies? Mother Winter could have something that happens that results in her stepping down/dying, Mab ascends, and we are again stuck with Molly as queen.
Also there is a chance that the Mantle will either go back to Mother Winter who will choose who deserves it such as Leah. Or she could be the one who the Mantle goes to.... Molly might not get it just because she's a Lady....

There's an actual WoJ on the soul thing somwhere. She;s ok but if she lets go too much she can lose it. From reading the short and doing a bit of reading between the lines i think basically the more she leans on the mantle the less "human" she becomes and the more bits of her soul get cut off. On the other hand WoJ confirmed that Mab may or may not still have a bit of hers left, he basically gave the shrug of god. And Mab is ancient given we've been told to look at celtic queens for hints as to her human identity.
Her response to mab at the end about not being done with the conversation vis a vis Tribute speaks strongly in her favour overall. She's not just giving in and going along with everything the fae way.

It is really a long term issue. Great chances that it won't become an issue between now and the destruction of the dresdenverse in the next apocalypse. ;D

It won't be an issue in the sense of the Story anyway. In terms of Molly's actual lifespan, 10-20 years (About what Bob gave Lily) isn't that 'long term' really.
Already we've seen her struggling with the Mantle literally body-jacking her to force her to fulfill her role as a good little robot, to the point where she can't even speak as she chooses.
But she 'chose' to be in the general vicinity of a faerie queen when they died, so it's not a breach of free will to be literally enslaved and have your body puppeted like a marionette! (Seriously, between that lame-ass excuse and Michael's House having holes in it's defences you could drive a Panzer Division through, Heaven needs to step up it's game).

Bob is somewhat pessimistic because he only saw weak willed knights, he did not give Harry any chance at all.

That is a restriction but she is supposed to work around it. Maeve did not fulfill her role as a good little robot for about 150 years before Nemesis got her.
Which is also a far too negative description based on Harry’s unreliable narrative. Molly has a purpose, an important job to do and fulfilling your purpose is not slavery. Ask Uriel. Ask Gard.
It is not a waste of her life. She actually has an important role in the defense of us all.

Well her parents decided to have children in that dangerous world so the rest is a result of their free willed choice.
