Well as a physicist I think it's safe to say this, of course you can't know everything from a single solar system. Most of the stuff we see/measure is massive, and the smaller stuff like exoplanets is general. What we are doing now is like squinting while looking around a busy city street. You can get a sense of the cars, the people, etc. but you can't tell me exactly what the sign across the street says or what the hours for street parking are for that spot across the street and down two cars. And the real interesting thing to us as living beings is other living beings/organisms no matter how different. And no matter the quality of your telescope or detectors, you are never going to be able to resolve anything that far away nor with any degree of certainty. So from the limits of physics, we know we are going to eventually need to get down from our windowed apartment and start walking the streets of Paris. For no matter how long we stare, we will never truly know the smell of the bakery a few streets over until we walk through it's door. And to those that say robotic missions are the only true way, they are missing out on the truly human and sentient reason to go. Through individual experience we can create more than just new knowledge, we can expand upon the human experience as well as create new art to share those experiences.
