However, as usually is the case, i think it's a combination of factors. They were exposed to the most brutal warfare before Konoha was established, fighting the Uchiha, who were the most powerful clan after them. Yet they fared pretty well and didn't go extinct. Once Konoha was established, they were fighting alongside the Uchiha, not to mention the Hyuuga and the Sarutobi clans. So the idea that the Senju were wiped out due to warfare seems rather unlikely.
