Is it ever okay to message an opposite gender best friend (of over a decade) things like, “I miss you, [nickname]”, “I love you.”, “I wish you were here for [big celebration], it’s not the same without you”, etc when you are in a committed relationship?

It's OK to text a friend of the opposite gender as long as nothing borderlines on flirtatious talk. I don't think saying 'I love you' is appropriate. There are many ppl who are not comfortable with their SO texting with a person of the opposite gender at all.

Only if the opposite gender friend is gay.

What you describe is inappropriate. Is this question about you or about your partner?

To some of my guy friends, I’ve said : « I haven’t seen you since forever, I miss you » and « That party is soooo not the same without you » because whenever we have a gathering with out friends, he’s the life of the party, so it is not the same without him. But no « I love you », that’s crossing a line for me.

IMO: Its inappropriate if your significant other would be hurt over it. It's pretty sad when one's Significant other, isn't being shown anymore "significance" then what is being shown to the 'platonic' friend.

Sure. It's OK to miss & love friends. However those words can be misinterpreted. You need to be clear about your boundaries.
