I'm guessing the light has far outpaced any matter from the event, no?

It seems like the effect of that event could be felt only millions of years after the flash of light, no?

Technically true; I was considering the worst case of "oh no, gravity is messed up now, we're dead" or "oh no, that's too bright, we're dead".
