At first glance it appears to be a conundrum.

Man is has a process of being formed.
...according to the Law of nature...9 months.
Man is born, and instantly alive.
Instantly alive with Gods breath & soul.
Instantly alive with his blood flowing.
Quickly mans spirit (truth in his heart) is...
....revealed known only to the man & God.
Man is instantly dead after birth, but lives.
Mans blood life can become dead at any time.
Mans soul, may or may not become destroyed
Mans spirit, may or may not become ....destroyed
Mans "dead" flesh may become "dead".
Mans flesh may become justified to be alive
...forever.
Mans soul, may or may not become alive
..forever.
Mans natural spirit, may or may not become
...born again with a different Seed and thus
...become alive forever.

(And personally, IMO, ^^^ that is the most confusing, introduction to a newbie, and sadly to many who profess to be born again Christians....but yet so easy to teach step by step).

It hangs on KNOWLEDGE, of what DEATH, means what LIFE means and what a Flesh body, Soul, Spirit of man means...

And then hangs on the "IF" ... "THEN" knowledge revealed in Scriptures.

And for an individual man TO KNOW what God Offers and what the man is WILLING to Believe and Choose to Reject or Receive Gods Offering.....<---- and that will determine,
The Result...of the "IF" "THEN"...teachings in Scriptural Knowledge.

Big Picture...all men are dead men walking, "IF" they are not "IN" the Lords Risen Living Body and "HIS" Seed and "HIS" Word and HIS" Power (Spirit/Light) dwelling within the Man.

Glory to God.

You are welcome to believe what you want, but for me, Genesis 2:17 is speaking only of the second death. Physical death was always a reality for mankind. Adam did not introduce physical death to mankind, but he did cause the second death to be a factor in the lives of every individual in that when Adam become unrighteous, all of mankind became unrighteous unless he was prepared to repent of his individual sin(s) to God.

Shalom
Yes, and of course it's okay that we will have different understandings here, because I think that since the second death is eternal, it doesn't become a reality until once entered into after this life.
