It's honestly questionable how generous these perks are and whether it's in the best interests of the country to have them, now that it's been completely normalized for ex-presidents to get on the private sector gravy train

Like the whole point was to make it so ex-presidents *wouldn't have to* choose between using their status to get jobs and gigs and perks in the private sector or ending up poor because there's no way they can get a "real job" without doing that "The dignity of the office"

Is it safe to assume Melania also loses these perks as a former First Lady?

My understanding is yes

Not sure he loses his perks if the conviction happens after he leaves office. The wording of the law implies that it's the way he leaves that matters.
