I don’t recall this being new, when I was growing up in the 80’s astronomers were citing the unstable nature of red dwarfs as a major filter in the Fermi paradox.

So what’s the reason? They are not consistent enough and changes in light/heat output would kill any life that arose?

Correct. Its a combination of regular flaring and CME’s and the fact that their habital zone is very close to it.
