The disappearance of the specific species Home Sapiens doesn't seem terribly important in my opinion, especially if it is supplanted by a descendant species. But the absence of tech WILL eventually lead to the demise of life on Earth and consciousness in this little patch of the universe, because the planet Earth's ability to host life has an expiration date. This is why I have no room in my mind for the anti-tech memes. A future where we live as primitive farmers or hunter gatherers for a few more hundred million years until the sun starts expanding and boils the oceans driving all complex life to extinction simply isn't an interesting enough future to get excited about contributing to. The only way to avoid this future is to become a space faring civilization, and I think the existential risks present in that process are worth it, because the payoff of success drastically overwhelms the alternative. I want to be an ancestor of a multi trillion year type 3 civilization that develops levels of consciousness, awareness, and understanding of reality that we can't even begin to imagine.
