I know you probably didn't create it Stamets but I always think of ways to tweak these.
Better would be space goblin: romulan (since goblins were made from elves, space goblins are made from space elves), Space Hobbits: ferengi since they are mostly a nuisance but willing to carry something up a mountain for a good cause.
Ferengi would also be hesitant to drop something valuable into a volcano
Too soon
You remember that guy that gets flattened by the door in Bree? That's Wesley.
You're not wrong, but I contend that the writers didn't know what to do with Wesley.
Lich king?
From reading r/tolkienfans (yeah I know but have been reading for many years till recently) I think I read that Tolkien wasn't final with the orcs being corrupted elves, it was definitely in one of the drafts though. So can still work but maybe not definite is all. Also I am not sure on the timeline of drafts so maybe that was the last one in his works for them which would make it more likely.
IMO Ferengi are gnomes.
