There's no Dwarven civilization. I think you could certainly survive without one, but it would be impossible to ever get one on that world.

you could have a "Last Dwarves" scenario, the first 2 migrant waves are hardcoded but that's all the dwarves you get outside of childbirth.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

Yeah, look at it this way : no useless migrant ever ! Build a fortress, reunite the last livings of dwarfkind, and make a grand civilisation from scratch !

Yeah this is the perfect last dwarves scenario.  In previous versions, having no dwarf civ meant you wouldn't get migrants (Except for possibly the first wave)

If that's still true you could set up an isolated, multi-generational fort.

That is still true.

And this is not a bug. Sometimes civilizations wipe each other out. That's how war works.

But what race could possibly destroy all the dwarfs?

Elves are the most likely culprits, particularly judging by the masses of forest surrounding the only mountain range on the land.  Remember Tholtig Cryptbrain?  But it's possible one of the human empires defeated the dwarves instead: humans and dwarves rarely go to war, but it occasionally happens.  Take a good look at how large Dur Jir is.  If it came to war, they'd have a combination of elf-like numbers, sheer physical size, and real metal weapons to bring to bear against dwarfkind.

First two migrant waves are hard-coded, so bank on about 20 dwarves no counting births within the fortress.
Good for FPS, not so much for productivity. Haulers will be at a premium.

Nearly all fantasy settings have dwarves (nearly( wiping themselves out or, more often, digging too deep.  This sort of scenario will be more interesting/rational when the dwarf civilizations are wiped out but individuals and groups can still exist and roam/settle the map.

Judging by just how much of the landmass is under control of a single human civ, I think we can guess who's responsible for dwarven extinction.
