I'd say that's a given regardless of the DM mystery.

It's consensus that QM and GR are incompatible and that we need a new theory out of which both of these come out as a special case. String theory was considered a hopeful contender for that for a while.

And that we haven't observed everything to a satisfying degree yet should be obvious.

No (unless you mean "where" in parameter space), we have a pretty good idea where it is thanks to gravitational lensing surveys. We don't what it is.

Yes, I meant in "parameter space" :-)
