Of course, even if the Higgs is unique, the Standard Model may still require a few additions.
Does dark matter consist of particles of some kind not yet discovered?
That seems to be a very reasonable hypothesis, but we don't know for sure that it has a particulate nature.

That's also true of dark energy. Heck, there could be an entire dark sector awaiting discovery and annexation into the Standard Model someday. That supposed dark sector might even be more complicated than anything so far discovered - or, you know, it might not exist at all. 5/
