As for if she should fuse, I don't think she should. Her saying "That mirror was a prison, and fusion was the same" says to me that she's not at a point where she can dissociate Malachite with fusion as a whole, and so she isn't ready for it.

I just always took our Lapis as different than other Lapis' due to her feelings. Lapis's terraform planets, that's their job. They're not meant to fight. So when Lapis was stuck in the mirror after being caught in the middle of the war, she might have just been thinking of ways to use her powers to escape when she finally did get out. She did have thousands of years with nothing but her thoughts, so she probably just was thinking on how can I use my powers to be free. If you saw Lapis' backstory from Same Old World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdlj5sbv-Dg), I saw Pearl in her more 80-90s attire, meaning in between Pearl finding the mirror and her being put on that mirror, she could've been on many people throughout generations so she would definitely learn about Earth culture and weapons or so in that time.

Regardless, I LOVE LAPIS. She is one of the characters I relate the most and I really understand how she is. She was through a lot and overcame everything with all of her. She is both mentally and physically strong, she was able to tower up all the ocean, held as Malachite with sheer mental force for months, yada yada yada and I'm not even talking about the Lapis embodiment in "Why so Blue?".
