So if you're a doctor but actually discover one day you'd much rather be a musician and actually you eventually hate being a doctor, you just have to suck it up?

Sounds like Point Four needs to be extended far beyond "no new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever" to include "no new ideas, thoughts, emotions, or any cognitive state of any nature whatsoever" to get the kind of static state they're seeking.

Also, how do you operate the world's largest prisons without hiring additional wardens and guards?

So if you're a doctor but actually discover one day you'd much rather be a musician and actually you eventually hate being a doctor, but you do not suck it up, be a musician, and you may need to learn to keep yourself in prison.

I started with wardens, but the whole ecosystem would cause a chain reaction that would just cause extreme disorder.

I keep thinking and more ridiculous scenarios pop-up in my mind but I don't want to ruin the potentially fun game of finding them for everyone else.
