TL11 breakthrough is very recent. (new ship of refugees from the old world with proto-warp tech. We spent a century in cold sleep taking the slow boat. They saw the destruction of the old world from the belt, struggled to survive, and spent the last century maintaining their TL, boosting it to TL11, then a bunch of them fled to find us)
When we left, it was TL9/10, with TL10 medical in many, but not all areas. The big push was for the colony ships (looming disaster was known), so not as much experimentation with anything that might have unintended effects.
The folks most likely to implement the bio-engineering are my Doc and the PC geneticist/biologist. I'm pretty sure both would look at personality mod to be far too risky in unintended side effects.
