In the show, we have not seen any violent or homicidal (or should it be ponycidal?) tendencies in Celestia, nor has it ever been hinted that she hides a sinister side. She is shown to be a responsible and caring leader and I just can't see her plotting the murder of several of her subjects. To address your points:

Concerning the princess' immortality: I think she's able to overcome the sadness associated with losing friends though outliving them. Besides, the show isn't about death, it's about friendship.

Need I remind you that she did make amends with Luna by the second episode of the series? That's a massive load off her shoulders.

There are plenty of people in positions of power that aren't insane. I'm not saying that ruling a country isn't stressful, but just think about this: how many presidents/prime ministers/kings/queens/big cheeses have snapped under pressure and personally plotted the murder of their people?

In short, grimdark or clop stories don't mesh at all with the show's original messages or values.
