No guarantee that the inhabitants of Krypton X had space travel. Maybe they all had already evolved into energy beings who no longer needed a planet to support them? Or, they decided to make lemonade, and captured all the debris from their exploding world and used it to build space habitats or even a Dyson sphere?

That is, if there even is a Krypton-X in pre-Crisis continuity. Clearly, given the existence of Overman in the current DC Core Multiverse's Earth-10, Krypton-10 must have existed there.

and we apparently have a Krypton X; there is someone in Kansas named 'The Guardian Angel'

Yes. The Kal-El of Earth-X debuted during the Crisis, and was killed by the shadow demons. In the story were the Freedom Fighters learned about him, we met the Earth-X counterparts of Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, the Kents, Pete Ross, and Lana Lang. I think it was implied that he was the only survivor the Krypton-X. Uncle Sam was sad, because that meant there were no Kryptonians to fight for the allies.

To circumvent the concerns I've raised, it might also be possible for a Krypton to be in a more distant orbit, say on the periphery of Rao's habitable zone, as it seems to be in the first modern day Superman movie (1978), in which it was depicted as an iceworld. In which case, one extrapolates that sapient life would have evolved with its caverns, perhaps made more habitable by an overabundance of radioactive elements and consequent internal heat and light. In time, Krypton's inhabitants might have made it to the planetary surface as their population (slowly) grew. Which does also deal with the problem of Krypton's uranium core- in such an intensely radioactive environment, a quirk of its planetary evolution might have resulted in concentration of radioactive material at its core, in such volumes that it would only slowly reach critical mass. Again, this would rely on the Wegthor jolt theory. Perhaps the severe quake activity would have died down if Jax-Ur hadn't destroyed Wegthor. However, it was Krypton's largest moon, with an inhabitable surface and Kryptonian colony without a protective dome, which suggests that it might have the mass of Titan or Jupiter's larger Galilean satellites such as Ganymede, Io, Callisto or Europa. Therefore, its destruction would have had severe consequences for Krypton.
