Nope. Deterministic. Variation in the universe will be recognizable even if not identical. Even on earth the differences between say, birds, and mammals is rather obvious, but recognizable as serving the same function. The evidence of convergent evolution on earth. Variation is mostly driven by capacity to acquire, store, and use energy within the possibility of the body form and organization.
Advanced life is no small thing. But we would recognize lfe anywhere in the universe we discovered it.

(and it would, if it could, recognize us)
