Backgrounds seem very 2d when you are out in the galaxy. And can we turn off All the on screen target information?
Can we really, visit all those stars?

When you hyperspace... notice how you're bracketing a star you can see...
Yes, anything you see can be visited, except for a few other galaxies in the background.
What's even more cool is that a lot of it is based on real data. You can go to Sol and see where Sirius or Alpha Centauri is in the sky and see the constellations made of "real" stars that you can visit.
I am now 7000 LY from Sol near NGC 6357 and gonna go check it out. I've been flying that-a-ways for 3 days straight, I think.

Demonstration of dynamic "background":
Notice the colour divide - screenshot taken from far below galactic plane, so all the golden/brown dust is now above.
And here's some perspective:

That's also true.
But if you plan your explorations carefully, you can usually find navigable branches that go a long way out. You just have to accept that you'll be backtracking a lot.

What really why? I wanted to visit the core.
There are some well-known stars whose positions aren't what they should be, putting them far outside the range of any FSD. I issue tickets as I find them, but other than bugs in the data, yes, they should all be visitable.
Latest example: T Ursae Majoris is almost three and a half thousand light years above Sol. That's almost a thousand above where even the Core's bulge caps out, and T Ursae Majoris is closer to the Rim than it is the Core.

Yup, I tried and now I can't login anymore.
WHAT? Seriously? I am grinding money so I can get a fancy ship with fancy upgrades and all in order to enable me to visit the galactic core and beyond - I read that there are extraterrestrial civilizations in the galaxy that have yet to be discovered (not the Thargoidz).
Nothing like that out there currently. All of the nebulae it seems have about half a dozen systems that are permit locked so content expansion potential there is obviously possible. But yeah, if you value your save then stay at least 9,000ly away from sag a*.
I didnt go too far from civilisation, just about 300 ly out, nothing terrible happened, but I did find the odd disconnect during jumps between systems, or longer than normal jumps. Kind of like asking a librarian for a book from the dusty dark unlit section of the library that no-one ever wants a book from - makes them go "What? The what? Oh, let me see, oh, ok, yes sure I can find it, must be... no, no.... maybe over... aha... oops dropped the torch... ok.... oh not this shelf, down one...." *cleans dirt from the sign* "Yes this is it!"

Whoa, crazy man lol
I did just get a decent pair of binoculars for Christmas, I've been wanting to go outside and see if the constellations I see in real life, match up with what I would see from positioning my Cobra, in the game, above where I live.
Unfortunately, unless some rogue stations appear waaay out there where you can repair, then wear and tear will put a finite limit on the range of any explorer as I understand it.
Auto repair modules will extend the range, I think, but I believe they operate on a limited supply of parts.
Unless W&T stops degrading your systems at a certain point, I do not see any ship surviving a trek across the galactic plane.
(I welcome more information and/or correction on these assumptions!)
