Living near the center and close to so many other stars would leave a civilization open to complete destruction from supernovae. Also, more likely that planetary orbits are disturbed by nearby stars, rogue planets, etc.

My understanding is that living out here in the exurbs of our solar system is one of the reasons we had sufficient time on earth to develop intelligent life.

This ‘understanding’ was granted to you by whom? And how would they know - unless they’ve been to the center?
