Based on this about 5.5 million stars are created every 30 minutes and only about 1 start goes supernova in the same period? This seems like it really reinforces the we are still in the early stages of the universe theory if the ratios are that imbalanced.

Still though the imbalance in those events makes me suspicious that we are missing something.

The vast majority of stars don't supernova.

Also, we're at the tail end of star-forming era. about 95% of all the stars that will be formed, have already been formed.

That we can observe with current technology, yes.

Theoretically, around 10-100 stars go supernova every single second somewhere in the universe.
