Sora no Woto is Haibane Renmei done right.

Killing yourself is bad for the economy, and we can't have that, can we?

Doesn't matter if you get it or not. It's a common view held by many religions that suicide is a great sin.
You can agree or disagree with that but that's a different matter. The concept itself that suicide is frowned upon and the idea of a purgatory shouldn't not seem strange to you even if you disagree/aren't a religious person.

For once, it's a major sin in christianity, and a taboo in a lot of cultures if you look before modern times.

It's not so much that you kill yourself it's that your death was intertwined with your reconciled emotions. Only Haibane with reconciled emotions could move on when their time came. So she had to undertake it.

It's a sin against society, you don't pay back into the system that created you, and it's a sin to those that love you, because they'll be the ones hurt most by it. It's literally self-murder.
Whether or not you consider those to be grave sins is a different matter, I assume the first one won't even enter most people's minds.

That said, in Haibane I think they went into purgatory because of an unresolved emotional conflict rather than as a punishment for a sin.

No, Sora no Woto is Sora no Woto done wrong.

Seriously, what the fuck was with that ending?

Where do the people in the village fit into this?

It's not at all clear. Maybe it's their heaven? Pretty nice life all things considered.
