I personally believe we actually live in the era after abundant life and we're one of the late starters. I don't think it'll happen but if humans could traverse the universe quickly I think we'd find a lot of long gone life and a small fraction of lost civilizations maybe a few still surviving pools of life.
I also believe life is actually pretty common. I think Mars and moons of Jupiter or Saturn have had life on them at a time
Interesting theory!
