It’s be quite a bit easier to trigger a runaway greenhouse effect at 0.74 AU.
In addition, besides needing a boost to maintain orbit (solar panels that function for 750 million years?) some forces have acted to slow and reverse Venus’ rotation and it is hard to imagine satellites wouldn’t be significantly affected over long time scales.
A space program isn’t necessarily a natural consequence of CO2 production anyway. That might be especially true for creatures who don’t have the benefit of a moon.
