Yes, this is the key point. Biosphere 2 had too many conflicting goals. Species diversity is cool and all. But if your goal is even century-scale self-sufficiency, you arguably you don't need pieces of so many ecosystems. I mean, what do bush babies really do for you?
Cockroaches are a tough problem. And management of soil microbes. But maybe the most practical solution is to gamma sterilize all bulk inputs, and carefully seed with just what you want.
