It's tiny and in a few years will be broadcasting fuck all signals. Space is ridiculously empty, chances are practically zero of it ever ending up inside some other solar system, let alone colliding with something. It will never be discovered.

It definitely will be discovered. It's an infinite universe.

That sounds like it would make it LESS discoverable

No, it makes it inevitable. In an infinite universe, everything will happen.

That logic might suggest a probe identical to Voyager would be discovered somewhere by someone, but not that our voyager probe would be discovered by someone. What if it falls into a star first? How are they supposed to discover it then?

It doesn’t work like that. It’s entirely possible the heat death of the universe happens with a dead, alone and decayed Voyager all by itself. Not everything that can happen will happen, this isn’t a Marvel movie.
