I imagine it depends on whether interstellar travel is practical. If intelligent species come to the conclusion that they’re forever isolated, a monument seems a rational, almost inevitable choice.

And how do you know you're forever isolated? There are things you don't know that you don't know. No rational species would ever build a monument IMO, and again, game theory supports this so far.
If you have physics solved then you may be able to prove that you are isolated.
As for the game theory - in practical scenarios you want to use conflict theory by shelling, because game theory is too simplistic.

You can build a Dyson sphere and channel the radiation of a star directly to the planet to destroy it that way.
