Eventually, each & every member of the Fellowship would in all likelihood have succumbed to the power of the Ring & the temptation to seize it.

But are we makeing this assumption based on the book, or the movie? For that matter, is thread revolving around the book, or the movie? If your comment (above) was directed towards the books, I don't remember reading anything of the kind, although I could be mistaken. If it was directed towards the movie, I still hold that Galadriel's lines were bad choices, & that if Sam could prove her wrong, surely most or all of the others could to. Now if it was a Fellowhips of Frodo & Eight other
Men , well, than that'd be quite a bit different.
As to Aragorn perhaps having no more control over himself around the Ring then Isildur did, I think Aragorn traveling with Frodo as long as he did proves that he had more self-control than Isildur, who likely would've done a Boromir, probably even sooner, had he been in Aragorn's place. Although I don't doubt that if Aragorn would've gone with Frodo into Mordor & up to Mount Doom, there'd have been a good possibility of him giving into the Ring.
