yeah a greater enemy makes sense and it is worth exploring. A possibility is the Reapers as we know it are not the real reapers but just some minions of the real reapers. Imagine if the AI (the star child) had been indoctrinated by the real reapers, and then used the Levaithan robots to kill them off and harvest advanced organic life every 50000y. They would be like the Geth or the collectors were for Reapers. Listening to Sovereign he stated cit ' the reapers are ethernal, we have no beginning and no end' So the door is open for the greater enemy : The puppetmasters of the reapers.
