So the waiver of right to respond means the federal government, or in this case, Barry’s lawyers, have granted every statement of fact in the filing, and has no right to counter any statement within it, nor counter the centori.

I’m seeing a split decision here, with the court likely finding that the option of citizenship is one that has to be exercised, and one’s American citizenship can’t be revoked by an outside authority, nor does having an option revoke citizenship. A joined majority will further declare that the SCOTUS is not the arbritor of presidential elections and toss the whole bomb into the lap of Congress.

A minority will likely feel that this is entirely a waste of time, and another minority will think that it is up to the Electoral College to verify documents before voting for president, and yet another minority (mixed) will encourage the release of the documents.

Not the way it works at the SCOTUS level. Filing an opposition is optional. Most petitions are not opposed (because only a tiny percentage are granted). If the Court is considering granting certiorari, and the respondent didn't file opposition, the Court will request a response before taking a vote.
