The other Jovian moons are also bathed in radiation and EM fields and have dangerously active events on their surfaces. Not such a pleasant place for biologicals to live. A specially adapted vec society might do it, if we develop such in the real world future. Otherwise, it's robots all the way down.
Still, in the vicinity of Jupiter, energy will not be in short supply for colonies with a controlled population growth; IE, any viable space colony. My concern is, what if we humans don't end up physically adapting to low gravity? Either by natural or engineered means. It'll be orbital habs only until we get over that hump. 1 G is the way to be!
