Not a tetralogy. ME4 is not a sequel to ME3 (thank goodness). It's set in the ME universe, but Shepard's story stands on its own as a trilogy.

There is no "good" solution that doesn't involve either control or elimination of the Reapers including Citadel and Relays.

That's kind of (part of) the point. They made it so the only choice that could eliminate the Reapers also involved genocide as well as general destruction to all sapient life.

I can't parse the first line in your last paragraph. Could you explain?

The Council had developed their own independent relay technology capable of bouncing EM over galactic distances (source Codex). They had developed their own independent long-distance communication systems (EDI, Anderson). They were developing independent methods of mass transport (source Aethyta). The Rachni had their own FTL communication that could be studied (source Traynor). Javik and Starchild both admit that the Council had passed the Protheans in some respects. And the big reveal of ME1 was that the Citadel and Relays were honeypots to slow or prevent independent development of galactic-scale communication and transport (source Vigil).

So rather than looking at "general destruction to all sapient life" we're talking more about an Eve Online situation of relative isolation and rebuilding of galactic infrastructure.

However, many of those hints were buried in the codex or behind optional dialogue trees. The possibility for life after Relays could have been made explicit through mission design. For example, we could have had a mission to recapture a stolen prototype Asari/Salarian warship with a long- or medium-distance jump drive. (Possibly while escorting Joker to the command bridge while he says "shit" a lot.)

I could be wrong since it's been a couple years since I finished the games (I'm gearing up for a replay soon though! once I ~~get off my lazy ass and~~ obtain all the DLC) but I thought Destroy basically destroyed all technology, or all sufficiently advanced technology, and not just Reaper tech?

All "synthetic" tech. The Normandy is obviously intact after the conclusion so it ends up pretty arbitrary.
