The sanctions ensure that even those Russians who don't send their children to fight and die in Ukraine feel the effects of the war. Plus if Europe out boots on the ground the chance of nuclear escalation is increased. Sanctions are part of the package, not the whole package. Also Europe doesnt need Russian gas. It has become reliant on it sure, but it is weaning itself off that and that gives them more power and Russia less in the long term. Your points look at the immediate short term (less than 12 months) and does little to consider beyond that timeframe.
