We came to similar conclusions but I thought the live or die comment was meant to be both literal and metaphorical and to parallel the comment later when Ahsoka said "I wont fight" and Anakin says "then you'll die" and he makes a comment about her not learning the lesson.

Literally shes in the water and if shes doesn't fight for her life she will die (drown).

Metaphorically, if she doesn't shed the fear of repeating her master's failures (both as a teacher and his fall to Darth Vader) then she does nothing which is another way of saying she may as well be dead. That is why he said "is that what this is about" when she talked about him becoming Vader. The lesson isn't that she will become Vader because her master did, the lesson is that she takes what Anakin has given her, learn from it, and be a better Jedi and a better master both because of the good and the bad.

fear leads to the Dark side, doubt leads to fear, there is no try. Basically very similar lesson to what Yoda tought to Luke. So no, 'fear consequences' wouldn't be a lesson =)
And I doubt she would die physically, but I can accept that (apathy is death) by not acting she would really discrad her teachings so far and woudn't be Ahsoka, still it would eventually lead her to the DS. So, basically its the same, has the same weight as 'killing Ahsoka' and becoming DS version of herself. Plus, having a lot of issues with easily falling to the DS in Clone Wars and chose to reverse-bleed crystals, I think this was more likely.
