"At some point, is expected to be found some sort of equilibrium where the tx-fees need to pay entirely the security of the network... if in the next 15-20 years bitcoin would see the same use of today, we can say it has failed someway."

See my other response to jimbocoin, I do agree, but I am looking for a technical explanation as to whether empty blocks can physically kill the Bitcoin network.

If we aren't filling blocks in 20 years something has 'gone wrong' yes, but Bitcoin will not be 'dead'

yeah, bitcoin would not be technically dead even in that case, absolutely.
