I think this is all there likely is to it. Add on that it is suspected that viruses can trigger autoimmune diseases, and that explains potentially even more long haulers. Plus increased stress/anxiety on some due to the lockdown could cause physical symptoms.

I do suppose some research is warranted though. It seems different viruses seem to cause different types of autoimmune responses, and it would be interesting to see what COVID can cause. Plus more research needs to be done on the link between viruses and autoimmune diseases in general.
