A zero sum Situation can be stable.
Nature where in that state before the emergence of humans.
More narrowly rain-forests are in that state.
But while nature is beautiful nature can also be cruel.
Its pretty much "fist law" / "club law".
In the English language there's even the term "law of the jungle" because it's a good example.
So even if stable we should probably want to avoid it like hell.

Whether artificial highly advanced atomically precise technology will ever run in such a situation or not is probably not predictable from current knowledge.

Its said that a zero sum society is a society of takers rather than makers and thus a catastrophe and recipe for disaster. {{todo: find video where this idea is presented}}.
In light of the example of nature where evolution is still happening (sort of making) this may be judged a bit differently.
