She mentions that she has no idea if we'd even go back to our own time or if we already changed things.
Giving people the potential to affect Dynamis even is a good idea, but they can literally create entelechy life forms, since Hermes did it. She didn't have to sunder Ancients to create being attuned to it, but just create familiars with the intend to use and harness it.
I agree, but to be super generous, we have no real idea how the sundering even works at all in the wider context of space. I'm not sure the devs ever got around to saying what happens if someone on a shard manages to leave the planet, zodiarks relation to its barrier might be different to how others worked when sundered. Would be strange for it to be maintaining so many extra barriers if the other shards don't actually exist as physically different locations, and if they are separate beings maintaining barriers over the same planet, fandaniels plan wouldn't have actually done anything.

Is a bit of a reach, but the story kind of struggles if venat was willing to kill everything on the planet without even considering what might happen after. Might have missed something on this topic though, I don't watch or read dev interviews consistently.
