This assumes the amount of excruciating pain and horror of being run over by a trolley before death is zero, and while I haven’t been run over by a trolley personally, I’d have to imagine it’s not fun.

Given it’s infinity, an infinite amount of anything just becomes a mundane day to day thing.

I have chronic pain and can confirm that this is NOT the case.

Is this an “Eventually, Kars stopped thinking” supposition? Because that’s a valid possibility, but we can’t know it for CERTAIN - nobody’s ever been doing anything forever, and chronic pain seems to be painful at least on the timescales of decades…

Still preferable to Diavolo’s “death”.

I dunno man, seems like you’re presupposing death is worse than eternal torment, which is debatable.
I believe OP is conflating reincarnation with resurrection. I believe the concept of reincarnation is incompatible with the hypothetical.
