In places where fertility is below two children per woman, you could abolish death completely and population will plateau
Why would fertility per woman stay the same when childbearing lifespan is increased? It seems more likely to me that fertility per woman per year would stay the same—have a kid or two, then a few decades doing other things, then another kid or two and so on. And this leads to exponential growth (as long as fertility/woman/year > 0).
