I actually hope that there is still a lot of scope for improvement (but doubt it).

For some positions there is definitely room for improvement. Extreme backgames are the obvious candidate. If the theory changes enough, it will also change the theory of positions where an extreme backgame hasn't yet materialized, but could.

One sign that we're not close to the edge of perfection is that the nagging issue of whether equities exist never shows up in practice, even though it's a known potential problem, and no mathematically sound fix has ever been proposed (to my knowledge).
