Do you know how silly it sounds to say "if he somehow turns out to be alive we will change his status"? Isn't that the point of the "unknown" status? So that you keep them in limbo until you KNOW one way or another?

You are making a huge, fatal error by comparing Armin and Kenny.

1. Kenny is not a main character

2. Kenny *eventually* died, and presumably could've been saved by titan serum without dying. This isn't about whether or not they are wounded to the point where he will die (fatally wounded). Quite obviously, Armin was fatally wounded. However, if you are fatally wounded and receive titan serum, you don't have to die.

So Armin could be a lot worse off than Kenny, without any sort of contradictory plot armor, yet at the same time live.

Levi is not going to come back to them. I believe Hange is the only one with knowledge of the serum kit, and she may be able to stall Armin with somebody else's spinal fluid (maybe even Eren can donate some, there must be syringes in medical supply somewhere), while she sends someone with great ability (Mikasa) out to get the stuff from Levi. That is just one example of what can happen, there could be others. There's also that Titan shell, could it be possible to fuse Armin's raw body with the titan shell? As you have alluded to, anything can kill or not kill/save any character because it is a fictional world. And as you start getting into titan things which haven't been clearly defined at all, it becomes easier to use them to do what was thought to be impossible. Also, you have Hange there who is smart with that stuff. It doesn't have to be a coincidence that she showed up right now. I am sure she will have some idea.

I totally agree about Moblit. Unless if Erwin saw him die, that is a pretty bad way to consider someone "deceased".
