Then again, supposing dark matter & dark energy both do consist of particles, and someday we discover all of them - *then* are we done?
Maybe not.
We're not certain that the inflation field exists, but if it does, its associated quantum - the inflaton - may await discovery.

Oh, and then there's supersymmetry - or, maybe there isn't. See, there's a suspicion that every force-transmitting particle might have an as-yet-undiscovered corresponding matter particle associated with it, just as matter particles might have corresponding force particles. 7/
