Given the millions of other technological advances that would be required in order to make one, I'm not sure that would really be a limiting factor.
Something that harnesses the entire power of a star might be able to avoid destabilization.
I agree that a swarm or ring would be a lot easier to implement, but it would also not collect as much energy.
