What about your views about Uttara Kanda
I personally don't believe it as at the end of Yuddha kanda Valmiki ji has told Rama ruled for 10000 years and I like it that way. After going through so much they lived happily ever after and ehen time came they left for Vaikunth. I know Uttara Kanda shows the RamaRajya part and Mata Sita's sacrifices but still I think its an interpolation
I also don't feel it as Maharishi Valmiki's writing....I think in somewhere in end of Yuddhkand only...it's written that "this is it;this is Ramayan"....which sort of tells he is telling ;here ends ramayan.He sort of gave proper ending by such statements as u said Ram then ruled for 10000 years.He also states what is meaning of Ramrajya.
And I felt on reading Uttar kand that it somehow doesn't match Valmiki's way of writing;what we say in Hindi as "Shaili"...
I feel ki baad me Ramrajya ke ideals samjane ke liye ye addition kiya hoga as interpolation.
Probably this may be the reason why Tulsidas ji also stops on Lanka Kaand...and ends on Ram rajyabhishek and just gives avdhaarna of Ramrajya.He just mentions Luv Kush are sons of Siya Ram.
So here ending my pov, I may be wrong,,but I feel it as a later on addition to give glance of Raja Ram and ruling ideals and moral dilemma of Raja still why and how rajdharm needs to be kept above personal dharma like Sita maa parityag story and last me Lakshman parityag story.😊
