The theory I've recently come to postulates that:

1. The volume of space filling the universe is finite and is constantly growing, thus the boundaries of the universe constantly expanding.

2. The expansion of the universe's boundaries is caused by light that is reaching those boundaries is converted into fresh space.

3. The expansion of the universe's matter is caused not by kinetic reasons of a big bang somewhere in a distant past but instead by the tendency of the matter to distribute itself evenly across the ever-increasing volume of space (which is perhaps connected to the cosmological constant).

Well, is it worth any constructive discussion (any existing theories if this kind?) or is it another example of why amateur physicists should not post their lunatic theories on this forum?

I think you misrepresent the idea of the universe expanding; it’s the distances between two points, regardless of the true physical bounds of the universe, growing.
We assume this is because of a yet-undiscovered type of energy that we can’t form a model of, but we can’t say that the universe is expanding because of light. Given the rate of expansion (and the fact that it has a rate), light is probably not doing it.

What if it's the expansion of the universe that is pulling the light but not necessarily at the same speed, the light could be dragging behind with some void between the two

enclosed space with finite volume doesn't have to have boundaries, and universe we are in probably doesn't have it (there is no evidence), observable universe has them though.

propose a mechanism for light to turn into space and I might try to begin to take you seriously

no it was just the start of the physics of thermodynamics and harmonics and maybe a few others.
