I dont know if it would destroy earth at all.

The thing tries to stay hidden and the assimilated people dont even seem to know they are assimilated until the thing needs to get out of a jam,

Moderately quick

The infinity gauntlet, all 7 dragonballs, or a time machine are the only way to deal with the thing once it reaches the ocean.

The Thing just wanted to Escape Earth
He used the Assimilation and Mimic Mechanics as a DIFENSIVE TOOL

Doesn't Wilford Brimley's exposition machine explain that right in the film?

I wonder if you made a perimeter of fire around a city or at least something that gives off a lot of heat would deter The Thing completely as long it’s consistent or would The Thing eventually have enough intelligence to find a means to breach it with enough assimilated bodies.

Exponentially. There is a comic book story arc that continues after the 1st 1980's movie that showed how quickly it turned things into The Thing once if was out of Antarctica.

Link?

If it can’t even get out of a research station how would it get the entire world lol
