There isnt anything wrong with using ripe in this context.

It just means “full of”

No, that’s rife. They sound similar, but ripe means mature.

You must mean this one:

6: ruddy, plump, or full like ripened fruit

a ripe figure

This one is refers to the shape of something - an actual physical object. So like “full lips” but not like a “full head” (abstract) or a “full stomach” (a feeling)

Nope, this one

full of.

a population ripe with discontent

And sorry it wasnt websters it was oxford.
