With the logic SCOTUS used to overturn Roe, doesn’t it seem that all other expansions of 14th amendment rights back to and including Brown v. Board of Education may be now vulnerable?

No, and yes. No, in that 14th Amendment was not basis of reversing Roe. Rather historically (bogus reading denounced by large number of historians) a constitutional right to abortion never existed (Roe was decided wrongly) and therefore there is no 'right' to enforce on states via the 14 Amendment. Yes, in that for these 'strict construction' 'non-activist' 6 GOP appointees, precedent means nothing and thus these clowns can jump down any legal rabbit hole they wish to enter and merely say 'because we say it is so'.
