Good, but on the atomic scale that's still a lot - as I understand it the key questions are how well it works on scales where the "strong" and "weak" forces also apply.

Does it matter though? If it will always be overwhelmed by the weak and strong force as distances narrow (except near/in a black hole or if extra dimensions actually exist)?

When energies are sufficiently high gravity can't be ignored anymore.
