How would D&D-style planar societies (e.g. all of those baatezu/devils in the Nine Hells of Baator and their archdevils and gods, or the archons up in Mount Celestia and their Hebdomad and gods) rank on the Kardashev scale?

Is the Kardashev scale even remotely relevant in a D&D-style multiverse with infinitely large planes, whose mystical energies are regularly tapped into to power everything from spells and magic items to the soul-petitioner-outsider reincarnation process?

How much do Dyson spheres and similar creations matter when most magical creations are self-sustaining and cost no overall power in the long run? While there are objects like consumable scrolls, an enchanted sword always stays enchanted until disenchanted, and a Decanter of Endless Water will always pour out water because the Elemental Plane of Water has an infinite supply.

I have purely magic-powered Dyson spheres in the space fantasy take on Planescape/Spelljammer that I usually run, but I downplay these as relatively minor sources of power compared to the vastness of planar energies, and most magic items are their own self-sustaining energy sources anyway.
