How much of that stuff is going to survive on geological timescales amd the concept of "invasive species" isn't really applicable to anything but conservationists that want to maintain a static environment.

Much will survive even if it will eventually transform. But that's not unlike petroleum which is composed of fossilized organic materials.

Wether the result will be useful or detrimental to future generations is yet another question that we deferred to them.
