Probably never. Daleks are masters of science so they've likely covered every life-extending trick they can (the casing itself will have some level of life support too) and the progenitors they use to make new ones can pump them out in at a ridiculous pace. Plus, they have time travel capabilties so aren't adverse to just plucking themselves out of time (or in some fiction) alternate universes.

Well, alien biologies can vary drastically, but there's still standards for how life works that can't really be overlooked because "not from earth." Even earth plants try to avoid "inbreeding" or whatever the plant equivalent is. Well, at least when set up as physically comparable to humans in complexity, the Doctor might be able to Regenerate and travel time, but he's far closer to us humans than he would be to a mold spore.

Also, I'm honestly not trying to be facetious, the though popped into my head and I was curious if that ever would be addressed as a long game solution that such vain angry wretches like the Daleks would be too prideful to care about or even notice. And apperently how Daleks are made prevents inbreeding hiccups, while opening itself up to others.

Also if tiny, inconsequential differences can cause civil wars, how possible would it be for the Doctor to try and make the entire race kill itself by making each individual Dalek consider itself the most perfect Dalek and start trying to wipe the others out to ensure its own "perfection?" Or even for that to happen on its own?

It would be possible. He gave a load of Daleks the "human factor" which made them question orders and there was a civil war. Another time they just had a civil war between themselves because they're creator made another faction. Then another time a high ranking Dalek designed with more "imagination" realised they were doomed the way they were and tried to turn them into hybrid humans. The rest didn't like that and killed him. Most recently another Dalek malfunctioned and turned "good". However that "good" turned out to be just wanting to slaughter Daleks like the way Daleks slaughter everything else.

The general idea has always been that the Daleks will eventually be the ones to destroy themselves, but the problem is they'll destroy everything else BEFORE that. And the Doctor doesn't do genocide, so he won't take them out on such a grand scale.
