What a lot of people don't remember about the collapse of the EVE Gate when they're done reading is that it didn't just close.
It collapsed violently, and almost obliterated the entire system of New Eden with an enormous release of energy that decimated most of what was originally there, including most of the settlers. It's reasonable to assume that the sheer amount of energy released could have destroyed or fried a lot of the electronics for several systems over once they were hit with the blast wave.
Also bear in mind that based on an 80 year lifespan, 8000 year is 100 generations. That's 100 generations of attempting to rebuild society from shattered ruins.
I think it's safe to assume that they had it pretty rough for at least a couple of thousand years of that.

The explosion of the EVE Gate would have ruined the jump gates in New Eden and surrounding systems. Considering that New Eden was the central hub of the cluster at the time, the loss of those gates could have easily been catastrophic to travel.

Bear in mind also that the jumpgates that exist now are not the same as the ones that were around back then. Completely different technology and completely different structure.

I think it's safe to assume that they had it pretty rough for at least a couple of thousand years of that. People tend to have children at the age of 20-30, not 80. From that, 8000 years is more like 250-400 generations. Unless Icelanders have some weird reproductive practices I'm not aware of.
I was considering the fact that in 7,000+ AD, the average lifespan is probably a lot longer, but yes, I do see your point.

I would count an unexplained phenomena "engulfing" with subsequent "malevolent" storms around the gates to be anything but peaceful.

The wormhole would have collapsed naturally, but the EVE Gate was basically artificially propping it open. Then things went terribly wrong.
