I think it would be easier to create a Temporal Portal or Light Speed Time Jump around the Sun then to hide your body in the Transporter to go 800 years into the future.
Who said anything about staying in the buffer for 800 years? I'm just saying that 800 years should be more than enough time for massive improvements to a technology that based on what we see ON SCREEN should already be an immortality machine by the 24th if not 23rd century.

That's the thing: whatever reason one concocts for it not being used for virtual immortality is the head canon. Until they explain why onscreen it's complete guesswork. All we know from the at least four times it's done in canon is that it can be done.
Later, Kes discovers that Paris' rate of genetic mutation has accelerated by another 12 percent. The Doctor and Kes must hurry to save the last fragment of Paris' original Human DNA. Paris pleads to be let off the ship. They refuse.
After further analysis, The Doctor derives a treatment. He plans to revert Paris' body back to its original genetic coding by destroying the mutated DNA using anti-proton radiation from the warp core. They have to have the system set up in an hour if they hope to save him.
'The Doctor' found a way to split Tom Paris' original human DNA from the mutated/Hyper-Evolved Salamander side.
What I want to see is somebody comes by AFTER Tom Paris & Captain Janeway are rescued in their Salamander form, but goes and resuces their 3 off-spring and reverts them back to human form and raises them in a secret UFP orphanage / adopted family.
Then many years later, they reveal the secret of their birth and who their biological parents are with a big surprise.
I wonder how Admiral Janeway, Tom Paris, & B'lanna would react along with Miral.
Sure, but as it would've been tested on inanimate objects by then why would there be an issue? Either it can maintain a pattern or it can't.
Sure, but good luck on waiting 800 years to make sure it can stay in the pattern for that long without degradation.
I wonder if you could negotiate with the Kelemane on that tech, because that's the only way you'll get accelerated temporal testing.

Yes, but if one person (even Scotty) can MacGyver that in a crashed ship, surely they could figure out how to do something like that as a feature over 800 years later.
You're literally proposing a new feature that is effectively "Transporter Pattern Buffer -> Long Term Stasis mode" and to turn that into a standard feature or function of the Transporter System.
Something like that takes ≥ 75 years to validate. And there are ALOT of X-factors involved to create a Transporter Buffer Pattern Stasis™ feature.
At the time when Scotty was found, the Kelemane planet hadn't been discovered.
So the option for accelerated temporal testing wasn't an option then.
If the UFP can get the Kelamane onto their side, their Temporally displaced planet would be invaluable as a resource for accelerated materials and equipment testing using Androids / Holograms to do the testing work.
If the Kelamane refuses to participate, help, or refuses the UFP hand in friendship; then testing of hardware becomes incredibly hard / impractical.

You want Transporter Suspension as a feature, how do you plan on testing it?
Because the Kelemane Planet are the only practical way to test Transporter Suspension over the long term (e.g. Scotty's 75 year suspended Transporter cycle).
