The things you mention may be useful to science and even help in evolving foundations of physics, but that hasn't happened yet. Ms. Hossenfelder talks about things such as internal consistency of quantum methodologies, consistency of QT and GRT and particle physics. There is no breakthrough in these questions for decades.

What if there aren't any breakthroughs left to be made in those areas?

That is possible, time will tell. It is quite possible (and at this point, even desirable) that breakthrough will be made elsewhere in foundations of physics.
