If we look at this purely from a 'what is the best option to attempt to ensure the continuation of the human race?', then we should be attempting to do this asap. Having 100% of humans exist on earth leaves us very vulnerable and a single point of failure.

Couldn't these projects also be paths to mass destruction? When a group has the ability to safely hide underground or in space for extended periods, what stops them from leveraging their position and exerting force on the rest of us?

Having all humans exist in the solar system leaves us very vulnerable and a single point of failure.
Having all humans exist in the local stellar neighborhood leaves us very vulnerable and a single point of failure.
Having all humans exist in the milky way leaves us very vulnerable and a single point of failure.
Having all humans exist in the local super cluster leaves us very vulnerable and a single point of failure.
Having all humans exist in the universe leaves us very vulnerable and a single point of failure.
When you make your system large enough, it always has a single point of failure. False vacuum is a thing (maybe).
