"I'd say there's a lot of stuff more promising [...] but they would have been boring even if they'd worked out." - so which is it? That's kind of my point, we have a bunch of ideas that are more likely to succeed, but anything that would be boring even if they'd worked out aren't really promising in the "can it result in a meaningful impact" sense; and there seems to be a lack of experimental ideas that are within our grasp and could potentially reveal something interesting instead of just re-confirming thins that we're almost certain about.
