You're not crazy, it's good to put a lot of thought into world building. Also this is pretty interesting.
The way you described alien genetics sounds sorta like what bacteria do with plasmids, where they share good genetic traits with the other bacteria of the same species to keep them all alive (like a gene that provides resistance to antibiotics). Except that they transfer it to the daughter cells when they split too. I don't know much about it, just half-remembered stuff from youtube videos.
