The genetic ascension perks offer decent tech and bonuses, thats fine. What genetics is lacking is consequences. If you make AI you risk the uprising, if you augment yourself you alienate yourself from spiritualists and if you go full robot you're an abomination. If you use psychic powers you risk a number of consequences. Where are the consequences for genetics?
Here's a few of my ideas;
Xenomorphs tech should lead to the creation of a hivemind empire or planets assaulted by xenomorph armies should have a chance of being overrun adding xenomorph blockers, possibly becoming a hiveworld if left for too long and creating armies of xenomorphs that must be put down to claim the planet.
Tampering with the genes of species should have a chance to result in rampant mutations or plagues on some planets (or very rarely for the whole species). A fad of gene splicing could occur in a heavily faction divided or deviant empire, could result in several pops being changed to new templates.
A whole event line where a mad scientist goes planet to planet, running from the authorities, even targeting high crime planets specifically and causing chaos with their experiments.
The prethoryn scourge crisis could be weighted towards targeting a genetics focused empire over others.
Genetics empires could be able to clone organic leviathans and other organic "ships" for a very high cost.
