a’la 2010, would any moons that survive then be considered ‘planets’ ?

    If memory serves, 2010 ignited Jupiter by crashing Saturn into it. But you’d actually need about 250 Saturns (or 85 Jupiters) worth of hydrogen to get the job done. A lot of the moons would be within that new super gas giant’s roche limit even before fusion began.
