Moreover, we don't see any largescale stellar engineering in other galaxies.

Some people do. There are quite a few serious-looking papers on that topic - though I don't have them handy.

I'd be very interested in references for them if you could find them. As far as I'm aware, there's been discussion about how to look for signs of engineering. There have been a handful of things that at first looked artificial and were then explained (pulsars being the most obvious example).
