I think yahg aggressiveness will have to decrease slightly for them to develop an interstellar civilization - otherwise, they're probably going to wipe themselves out before getting much farther.

Actually, that's an interesting thought right there - the one thing Shepard (and we the writers here) can know with any certainty about the next cycle is that it'll have yahg in it somewhere. Waking up and finding that they all blew themselves away tens of thousands of years ago, and the dominant race is something no one expected, could make the situation even more disorientating.
