I thought JKR was trying to point out the similarities
between Ron/Hermione vs. Arthur/Molly.

How would Hermione become a "Molly"? I assume you are
referring to Molly having many children, and (as far as we know),
not having a paying job?

Even if Hermione and Molly have similar
personalities, this doesn't mean Hermione will make the very
same choices that Molly made.

And Molly may consider her life full enough.

We don't know how Molly was at Hermione's age, and we may
never find out how Hermione will be at Molly's age.
Hermione might want to choose a career path and stay single,
or decide to have a family, or do both.

I don't really see her (and Harry and Ron) spending their
entire adult lives as aurors, hunting down one criminal
after another
They don't really go looking for trouble, even now, but only
react to threats coming their (or mostly Harry's) way.
