Aro is concerned about the rate of human progress. It might explain why he is trying to capture Alice at all costs in BD2 so that he can then see the future. For all he knows someone might try to detonate a nuke in Volterra. He still has enemies like Stefan & Vladimir who would like to 'return the favour'. Vampires aren't exactly indestructible; it didn't look like they can survive molten lava. Even a flamethrower could be a problem if technology advances (on a very fast and strong robot). Plus he could see a resurgence of their traditional enemies - the Children of the Moon. Threats from all sides.
