Great post, but in the context of "Where is everybody?", each 'we won't' or 'we could', where we haven't actually done it yet, is potentially part of the solution to the puzzle. Perhaps filling the universe with undying, exponentially-spreading probes, that don't stop spreading due to values drift, is harder than we think. (Personally, an early filter feels more likely to me, but if it's not that, it's gotta be something).
