Don't later models require proton decay primarily because Pati-Salam opened the door, even if the vanilla form doesn't REQUIRE it? That reduces the likelihood of other GUTs that don't also require it. I'm certainly open to them, just not aware of any save the grandaddy of all GUTs. Saying such unconceived alternatives likely lurk somewhere sounds like my argument for withholding judgement on exotic dark matter.
If you think that position tenable we may need to retrace our steps a bit.

I still think dark matter's just non-luminous matter without a convenient light source to reflect.

We've just about ruled out the idea that dark matter is just non-luminous "ordinary" matter.
