When our Sun goes, this will probably be the fate of our outer ‘Gas Giant’ planets. Earth and the inner Solar System planets are gonna ‘go down with the ship’.

How do you mean “when the sun goes”? Would the white dwarf that the sun will become not be able to retain the gas giants? Or would the red giant that it will first become somehow drive off the gas giants?

Yup. By then we will be ethereal beings capable of cross-dimensional astro-projection... or we will have destroyed ourselves billions of years prior to “the end.”
