One might get glimpses of Valinor in Rivendell and Lorien.
Yes, and even mortals that visited these places did not get bored, and they have less patience and more desire for change than Elves. And the time goes by differently. While in another place one may "get bored" in a week, in Lorien the Fellowship didn't notice how a month went by. And they weren't doing anything particularly exciting.

It's the life of Elves. Look at it from the standpoint of Elves.

Agreed. Time passes differently for Elves.

Rhod the Red is still gossiping in the Green Dragon.
I imagine some might get bored. However, with Elves regularly landing there, from M-E, they'd have fresh news, as well as plenty of reading and recreation activities, to keep entertained

Creativity is a very important element in the lives of Elves. And it needs time - and peace - to unfold. Wartime and active, strenuous travel (such as a quest) are not conducive to creativity. I think the Elves appreciate having leisure to develop their many creative ideas, and that is not at all boring!

One thing I always wondered can Elves have children after Valinor was removed from the world ?

Why not? Merely living in a certain area shouldn't preclude their procreation.
