I think you missed the point big time.

all of the thign you refered to are what would happen if NOW every single perosn on earth would recive omniscience, and somehow, miraculesly, the entire system would remaind the same.

it won't.

first of all, you need to ask yourself whether humanity would continue to exist.

we can easily point at the fact that for all sceintsits in the world, the meaning of life would end at the moment they recived omniscience.

for the rest of humanity, life might be so boring, from the fact no surprises would ever occur, that they might be reduced into a shadow of themselves.

the question you asked can be equaled to the question:

what would happen if all humans recived omnipotence over night?

this is a complecated topic.

and the worst part is, we have no idea what would ACTUALLY happen. there are several possibilities of differnt outcomes which we jsut can't fathom and imagine in our head.

but out of those we can think off:

1. religion, society, and any form of interaction with other humans would cease to exist. with absolute knowledge, there own't be any need in any of it.

2. life would be irelevent, as you alreayd lived your entire life, infinite amount of times. to physically experience them would be a matter of choice for each person, but most would probably see no problem with ceasing to exist.

3. if humanity would continue to exist, and people won't kill themselves, then they might form society which it's only need is to keep them alive, and in comfort.

these are the main points I can think off.

but the thing is that such a question can never truly be explored, and I don't think anyone, given whatever amount of time, can actually come with the msot accurate answer possible for this question, because of how much we don't know.
