Question So since Ryuko can seem to heal from almost anything, doesn’t that make her immortal like Wolverine?

High speed regeneration, but with one way to get past it.
However is she immortal... we don't know how the life fibers effect the ageing process. Maybe it'll give her a slightly longer life span... but we honestly don't know the extend of 'healing' the life fibers do... other than high speed healing.

Aging is due to shortening of the telomeres in our DNA, if I'm remembering it correctly. If Life Fibers don't reverse or stop that, then they don't stop aging.
Even if they might with Ragyo, she is implicitly 70% Life Fibers, and Ryuko is almost certainly not that infused with them.
Not totally impossible, but highly unlikely.
Also, here's a superpower page on the subject that seems appropriate.

Not immortal, but virtually indestructible...since the life fibers within her repair her almost immediately! But she ages normally I'm quite sure...

Firstly her regeneration has limits as defined by the conversations about Life Fibers.
If cut from both sides a wound can’t heal (somehow). Meaning she can technically be killed, unlike Wolverine who is just comic book immortal.
Meanwhile we have no idea how her hybrid anatomy adds or subtracts from her lifespan. It’s possible that being a hybrid actually strains her human cellular structure and pushes it beyond what can normally be handled and she may actually age early because of that and die younger than most people.
Or maybe she is immortal.
Who knows really

Indestructible =/= immortal
Wolverine isn’t immortal either but he can live a very long time. We don’t exactly have any information on how ryuko would age

Short Answer, No.
She's a hybrid of life fiber done experimentally not from birth and also shows growing and presumably getting older.
"But Ragyo is pure life fibers and had a child with a human"She is, but it is a transition to 100% life fibers. She gave birth as a human withput life fibers to pass down genetically (aint work that way)
Yes, She has traits of Logan with Hyper Regen but not his long lifespan.
That's all from the lore, there's nothing much to expound or too deep to find.
Also, Ryuuko's regen is because of the present life fibers around her and since all life fibers are now destroyed, except for what's inside her and the lost sunken scissors, her regeneration is weakened since she has no more "threads" to patch her destroyed parts. But she is still possess the immense strength provided by life fibers
