Ride system and quality of the attraction have little to do with eachother. There's no reason an E-ticket and C-ticket boat ride couldn't use the same system. Perhaps that's already the case... Pirates (US) vs. Mexico boat ride.
That being said, they are not using the same system. I think it is indeed one of those things that got tossed around so much it became taken as fact. This picture also confused a lot of folks, myself included, but it still doesn't look like the Shanghai Pirates system.
Now you all can proceed to argue over the letters A through E.

I think NRJ will be E-level popular (the queue will help), have E-level detail, but not E-level scope and scale. I see it as a D-ticket, but no one really knows until we experience it.
Before we get into an argument about tickets, remember that all new attraction would be E-tickets, because of the popularity based system on the 70's. We are not in the 70's.

Yes, that's basically what the Jungle Cruise uses. I am 99% sure that Navi River Journey will use a similar system.
One difference is that whereas the skippers can control the speed of the Jungle Cruise boats, NRJ's will have to run automatically, since there's no cast member on the boat. The new Voyage to the Crystal Grotto in Shanghai and Jaws at Universal (RIP) run/ran automatically.
EDIT: Upon further inspection it appears that Voyage does not run automatically. Jaws did though.
For a ride that puts immersion first, having no visible metal rails along each side is important, so I'm glad they are indeed using the JC system.

My guess for the ending is that the shaman AA gives a speech about how we are one with Pandora or something like that and then rewards us by letting us see a Tree of Souls. I think it would give a nice climax to the ride that doesn't seem too heavy on story. The most impressive views on Pandora would probably be the floating mountains (already done outside), and I would put the Tree of Souls next.

Exactly!
For the scope and scale of it it seems to be a D, though like you said we have to experience it for ourselves.
I wonder why it's costing Disney so much money for only one E-ticket in the land. Obviously NRJ will be impressive, but what could have caused the land to cost so much more. They seem to just cuff things, so it's odd that it would cost more for less.

SpaceX wouldn't exist without NASA feeding it business, so maybe it's more apt than you think.
