And are there such invisible former galaxies out there now?

The observable universe probably isn’t old enough for that. If you don’t restrict “out there” to our past light cone, and/or assume the cosmological multiverse, then there certainly may be.

Why won't they see another generation of star formation when supernovae push gases into dense regions again? It seems like the stage you're talking about is more than a few billion years away (more like 10s of billions).
Not much to see on visible spectrum compared to usual galaxies, other spectra will look better (but still probably quite faint).
