I see these too. It bothers me with her as essentially a second Merc because she doesn't like her weaponability all the time.
I could see her as a pilot, but not permanently, like Wash was, but more perhaps a 'fill in' but then who does fly Serenity? I dislike OC pilots because people never seem to get it right. Maybe it's just because I miss Wash. I also can see Zoe scaring off potential pilots because they want to get rid of the dinosaurs.
I guess the capacity River best suits is that of the reader on jobs,a nd perhaps a touch of respectability? She could probably pull of an Inara if she was having a good day.
I guess to start I see River going on as she began in Serenity, with the added plus of if she needs to, she'll fight, but not before (unless triggered). Then perhaps her playing the SX through an agent of some kind. I don't think she'd be entirely comfortable doing it herself to begin with, as it would bring the Alliance's attention too much and whatever respite she'd had from them may not last. Inara again would be good for that, she'd have the startup cash and the repectability that the assumption would be she just had a good advisor. Also, a good way of having Inara self sufficient if she were to give up being a Companion (if she wanted to, if Mal ever gets his arse into gear).
