I have a very tiny niggle (which bothers me in a lot of blogs and news stories and conversations too ;-} ). You say “The amount of gravitational energy lost …. for the Earth and Sun it comes out to be about 200 watts. ” Watts are units of power, of course, and are joules (energy) per second. The 200 watts gravitational dissipation comes out to about 17 million joules a day. As you say, an entirely undetectable and inconsequential amount.
