I’m pretty sure Dyson spheres assume we have the tech to capture 100%of the power being produced but I could be misremembering. Also if we do end up colonizing the solar system, I believe our demand for energy would be too high for fusion reactors alone and Dyson spheres (on paper) would provide the best means to meet that demand.

At that point what logical function would organic life serve? We would just be in the way, resouces watsted on keeping our fragile bodies alive and protected.

A labor force of drones would be the only rational outcome to solar colonization, all energy would be used for machines, not for biologicals.
