Very bad news Great Filter-wise because an EM Drive pushes forward the time when we can start to colonize other star systems going beyond the reach of any local disaster, and likely survive to the end of the universe and thus know we have passed the Great Filter.
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that verification that the EM drive works would tend to increase the likelihood that we are about to reach the great filter, right?
If so, couldn’t it also be argued that verification that the EM drive works would tend to increase the likelihood that we have already passed the great filter?

Yes, both are true.
