I always assumed Annabeth meant that she could never be physically defeated, but only put back into her slumber, but such a deep one she could never reform a consciousness. With that send its similar to Khronos, how he has been scattered to such minuscule pieces that he can never reform.

I'm sympathetic for Rick because if he didn't make her sleep, the only sensible option would be two have the strongest demigods(Percabeth) to fight her or die trying, which would've been a lot more suckish.

True, but once she wakes up, she cannot be defeated. Physically or not. When she wakes up. Game over. They said this since The Lost Hero. The point of the quest was that Gaea doesn’t capture 2 demigods and make Gaea stay asleep. Cause if she woke up, Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter would be destroyed.

In the House of Hades, Clytius mentions, after they defeated him, that it took the seven too defeat him. But what would they be able to do when Gaea opens her eyes ? 3 demigods cannot defeat Gaea. That’s like saying a chicken can defeat a cheetah in a race (Which is not possible) 3 demigods defeating Gaea is one of the most ridiculous battles in the entire series.I liked the battle, but it was simply to easy and ridiculous. But I see your point however.
