oh yes, most definitely, I agree with both your points: the Cylons will be the ultimate winners if they really want to exterminate all the humans (although that doesn't seem to be the plans of all the Cylons, now that we've seen some of their inner workings). And yeah, any "truce" by the Cylons is going to be taken skeptically by the humans, as they should.
But that's why it's going to have to be a very small group -- one Cylon (i.e. Caprica) and one human at a time. A very slow, very personal scale shift. But it's not as huge a problem as it is on our world -- there's only 40,000 odd people in the whole fleet. The Cylons are the problem, now that there are basically none left who have any connections to the humans. They have no reason to stop the war, especially not with the Cavills pushing for extermination.
Mystical crap aside, that might be the story function of the Final Five -- something in the Cylon side is going to have to change. Some split, some dissent, something, because otherwise it gets unreasonable that they don't just take their basestars en masse and wipe out the RTF. Or, at least, it does to me. Ron's Mileage may vary. *g*
