Interesting thoughts, but I think if we look at what Aragorn does, it's not all up to Gondor. What I mean is, maybe Gondor alone doesn't have the manpower to run such a vast kingdom, but look at what Aragorn does to sort of counter this.
He creates a great relationship with the new King of Rohan, Eomer, as well as making peace with the Haradrim and Men from the East, sparing them and having them come to peace in Gondor.
Also, the dwarves come in and make Minas Tirith all shiny and beautiful again, Legolas and the Elves tidy up Ithilien. So, I agree that Gondor alone doesn't have the strength to run the entire Kingdom, but what he does is create close ties, and makes peace with others, to sort of counter this.
