Jake's case was special and unique. I think it should stay like that and not something everyone can just do. Moreover, I think most of the humans who stay, still have family or friends at home and would like to return to earth later (maybe with a "cure" for the environment). And they have healthy bodies.
There was a fanfiction where Jake offered Norm to do the "transfer", but he answered that he wanted to keep his human body.
It will indeed be a problem to survive because it will be difficult to keep Hell's Gate operational with just a few scientists.
