I think describing a woman utterly free of sin as “semi-divine” is reasonable.

Nope. That would be confusing her human nature.

I think this is becoming circular. I don’t see anything in the new testament saying Jesus birth was anything but normal. This despite the fact that several other miracles at that time were recorded.

I don’t think that degrades Mary in any way, or impacts Jesus message. So that works for me,, thats my official interpretation on the matter.
