Your point about how space exploration in an "inverted" universe would eventually fill in the hollow planet reminds me of the Liu Cixien short story Mountain, which discusses exactly this issue. The story follows an alien civilization that evolved in the hollow core of their planet and digs their way out. This leads to wars against the tunnelers, who are viewed as "space thieves" because the rubble from their drilling machines starts filling up the limited space at the core.
