Is it just dumb luck that our probes (e.g. Juno, Voyager I, Voyager 2) never collide with even the smallest rocks in space? Is space in our solar system so void that the odds of a collision are so low? Does NASA (and other global space programs) have details about natural debris throughout our solar system that they can avoid collisions through navigation?

yes. And most objects of significant size are captured in the asteroid belt, they’re not just wandering free in the middle of space
it’s like putting a couple of friend at random spots on a football field and having them all throw tennis balls in the air. The odds of any two colliding are just astronomically (heh) small
