Absolutely on your last point, life elsewhere will have many environmental pressures that force things into a different direction. There will also be some things that work the same (convergent evolution). I used to think similarly about carbon with the idea that silicon or others could work as a base (and it may still happen) but I’ve seen a few good debunkings that knocked down the probability of it. Carbon is just so good chemically at what’s needed for complexity.
