Modified gravity is still being actively explored and I would argue taken very seriously but not in the context of dark matter, rather in the context of dark energy. So in a sense, yes, modified and dark matter combined are both possible in the same theory. However, at the moment, there is no real reason to suggest both dark matter and modified gravity are responsible for things like galaxy rotation curves because one of these works just as well without the other. In fact, many modified gravity theories apply "screening mechanisms" so they don't impact galaxy scales
