Oh, yeah, it's actually pretty widely agreed that most stars are in multiple systems, although I have no idea how many of those are on the scale of thousands or more AUs. Close-in binaries and trinaries churn everything up in such a way as to ensure planet formation doesn't really happen, according to lots of simulations and some pretty solid first principles physics justifying all of that.
