Further, they’re not scientists; they’re mathematicians and they mistake elegance for evidence.
“If the red shifts are a Doppler shift . . . The observations as they stand lead to the anomaly of a closed universe, curiously small and dense, and, it may be added, suspiciously young.
“On the other hand, if red shifts are not Doppler effects, these anomalies disappear and the region observed appears as a small, homogeneous, but insignificant portion of a universe extended indefinitely in both space and time.“
— Edwin Hubble, 1937 Royal Astronomical Society Monthly Notices

No, not yet at least. Have a feeling more will question it once the James Webb goes up and we start getting some good data.

Interesting video. Of course, especially from my level of ignorance, it all works out to 'we think we're pretty close but so far we're not completely sure'. 
I guess I'll let it go for now. It certainly doesn't change any position for me. A ~10% difference in measurements of a value taken 13 some odd billion years apart doesn't bother me much -- especially with the time shifts from measurement distances -- no matter how careful they are. Ha, ha.

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
