The universe is so vast, that I think even self-replicating probes traveling via wormholes would not be able to cover even a tiny fraction of the existing planets before their suns die out. The universe is really really really big.

Maybe I'm just a dumb human, but I really don't see why a supergenius race would invest the resources in scouring the universe. Unless it was their manifest destiny. In my head a narrative to address this crosses from sci-fi into fantasy.
