It sounds ok to me but I'd use only one comma, after "century".

Yes, it's a valid collocation, though "stabilize to/into" shows up in Ngram only fairly recently, from around 1920-1940. Here are some examples it turns up:
- If a specific, fixed bank angle is selected, then the airspeed is allowed to stabilize to the constant value corresponding to this constant bank angle.
- Stephen Corda, Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective
- When meaning and action around an object stabilize into routine, especially when these arrangements are institutionally supported, objects can powerfully shape action.
- Terence E. McDonnell, Best Laid Plans
- They are all ongoing processes affected by many things that stabilize into particular patterns.

Seems valid, if uncommon, to me.
List of examples of use of stabilize on online Cambridge dictionary has one use of "stabilize into". Phrase itself seems to try and draw parallel to collocations "coalesce into" (list of examples) and "congeal into" (list of examples), which are common, while avoiding permanency of congealing and coalescing (emphasised by addition of "briefly").
