There are obvious filters such as an extinction level event.

Good point on extinctions - but we can still hopefully confirm that sophisticated alien constructed structures exist in our universe.

The most obvious is the eventual end of life of their star(s).

If we can't figure out how to, as a species, colonize another planet in another solar system before the Sun renders the Earth uninhabitable, then boom, we're done.

What if there are beings that are simply born with a higher level of intelligence than we have or will ever have? What if these beings master interstellar travel right off the bat? What if these beings can detect and escape any possible danger to their existence? I think it's yet another example of human ignorance to assume any living being must absolutely undergo an extinction.
