Really though, a Dyson’s swarm isn’t that efficient long term. It’s likely better to dismantle large stars and use fusion reactors with heat sinks at close to 2.73 Kelvin as possible.

Would like a referral to science fiction that talks about this.

Yeah, you might occasionally leave one in place for historical reasons, but otherwise they are just too useless not to make use of their mass for something better. Not to mention traffic management headaches given that normal planets usually stubbornly refuse to do any orbit corrections when needed.
