When I first encountered this idea it quickly jumped to me that the universe does not appear to be "static", or at least our observation of it is constantly changing. This also plays into homogeneity, and the last assumption of being "infinite" is somewhat irrelevant, because if the first 2 aspects don't hold, being infinite still won't make the sky appear 'filled', at least past the point of our observation.
Of course there's still the theory of an imploding universe which could shrink back together all matter and thus maybe achieve this effect, but even then we still don't have a static characteristic, it only makes an argument for an 'infinitely occurring universe', maybe something akin of the theory proposed by Penrose.(which however still has a lot of unanswered questions, imo)
