After the one ring was destroyed by Gollum's sacrifice, could the Nazgûl or shriekers have found redemption and become good?

If the One Ring at the time somehow was outside of Eä and beyond anyone's reach including Eru Ilúvatar, what is Sauron's plan then?
Did Peter Jackson plan this in the first movie: we see Isildur get killed with three arrows to the back after running because the Ring corrupted him. Boromir dies similarly, from three arrows at his front, after fighting against the Ring's influence. Is there something here or am I crazy?
The other sixteen rings were forged with Sauron's magic infused, thus once he created the One Ring he was able to influence their wearers. But the Three Elven Rings were created by Celebrimbor on his own, without Sauron's influence.
Since the Elven Rings had no connection with the One why did their power wane?
Does Sauron put some of his powers and strength on that thing, or steal powers from the elven rings, or what?
I’m not entirely clear about how the One Ring empowers someone or exactly how much power one can get from it before it either turn the user into a Wraith or betrays it’s current bearer in favor of another who will be more useful in its own quest to return to Sauron. Non-canonical depictions aside, we’ve only seen the ring grant invisibility via moving someone to the spiritual plane and creating illusions like we saw with Sam during his rescue of Frodo. There are also others besides Sauron that might be able to wield the ring without it corrupting them like Tom Bombadil but he has no need or desire for it. He even says he would probably lose it in his house.
It seems to me that the Ring empowers someone through their worst aspects and erodes their mind with darkness to make them more pliable. However this doesn’t seem like a sure fire method as Sméagol took it into the misty mountains for 500 years and became the creature Gollum with a split personality. Both Frodo and Bilbo were able to resist it but after awhile they too were nearly consumed by it. Only to be rescued by outside intervention. {Gandalf forcing Bilbo to leave it behind and Gollum biting off Frodo’s finger to get the ring back before doing a happy dance into the crack of doom. [Sure Tolkien, Sam totally didn’t push him in].} anyway, is my understanding correct or is there something else that I missing? Feel free to correct anything that I’ve said because it’s the only way I will learn.
Okay just to make it clear and reiterate: the depiction of Celebrimbor in Shadow of War is completely non-canonical. THAT is undeniable, however the story of his personal ring upon a closer look seems to align with the core of Tolkien’s work. Allow me to explain:
Sauron was the one whom instructed the craftsmen of middle earth on the creation of the great rings {3 for the elves on high, 7 for the dwarves in their halls of stone, 9 for the mortal men doomed to die}. In the game, Celebrimbor forges another ring for himself without the corruption of Sauron. However even without his influence, it was his methods that were used in its forging. Methods born of and twisted in evil. One of the overarching themes in Tolkien’s works is that one cannot defeat evil using their tools and methods. Even without the influence of the dark lord, the new ring is still a tool of evil. In the end, Celebrimbor‘s plan to defeat Sauron would have ended in disaster one way or another. Either being defeated by the dark lord or simply replacing him on the throne of Mordor. He would have become the next dark lord in all but name.
Granted there is a lot wrong with the story of the game in terms of the lore and how certain characters are depicted. I will fully admit every flaw in the story from the perspective of canon in terms of Celebrimbor‘s characterization and how he was depicted. HOWEVER I do find in interesting, and fitting that the new ring, in spite of the best intentions would ultimately still be a tool of evil because it was forged using the methods of evil. At least by what we have seen and by the philosophy of Tolkien and his works.
Quick question and its one I know the answer to, but I'm not 100% certain about. I am almost positive that Frodo carried the One Ring on a chain around his neck, but I couldn't find that anywhere when I looked. I know its a really dumb question, but I thought I was certain about it, and then I couldn't find it, so I thought maybe I was imagining it. So did Frodo carry the ring on a chain, in the book, not just the movie?
How does Tom bombadill (plz don’t yell if I misspelled his name) resists the ring my idea is he’s so old that the ring really doesn’t effect because he has more power than saruon
Sauron is a fool. Why? He gave clothes to Nazgul. If they were without clothes hobbits would not see them and ring was on Sauron's finger.
Do you like it? It took like 5 mins!
Sorry if it's not perfect!
The 'One Ring' Quote is in the language of Black Speech (Spoken in Mordor.) But it translates to English:
One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them' One ring to bring them all and in darkness bind them.
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
