Are we in the Dune timeline?

Yes, but we have to get through the Butlerian Jihad first.

This will inevitably happen. Life is more robust than electronic systems. The electronic systems will be destroyed for their aggression.

I wonder, is an electronic system capable of doing anti-entropy work on itself (the way life does) necessarily AGI-complete? It turns out that there are many complex behaviors (like drawing or generating sensible text) that don't require AGI-completeness.

(Stumbled upon the answer while formulating the question – no, being capable of doing anti-entropy self-maintenance work isn't AGI-complete because there's plenty of life that's perfectly capable of that without being generally intelligent.)
