Are there opportunities for similar kinds of "this dimension does not
matter" thinking?

I wonder if our current understanding of fundamental laws have already
canceled terms simply because our local spacetime is situated at a special
region of a broader equation.  Maybe we can't imagine the extra terms
because we haven't yet met any phenomenon that aren't explainable by the
equations we have... or is that what gravity waves and tabby stars are
making us think about?
