Or instead of .adult - .nsfw/.nsfl

The whole point is that it's a voluntary system. Right now, you can
have any kind of site under .com. But lots of sites voluntarily use(d)
IRCA labels to mark their content as mature so people can avoid that
content when they want to.

Why would they? That makes no sense.

Again, why? Why would it end in censorship? Why would it be any more
likely to be censored than .porn? I don't understand any of your
reasoning.
