Serious development of the vinyl LP pretty well petered

I think that you'd be surprised at just how incorrect
that assessment is. DMM is one innovation that has been
added since the '60s

DMM fails the test of general acceptance. Plenty of recordings are being
made by traditional metal plating, to this day. Classic Records for example
if you can believe their PR.

as well as things like digital lathe control,

Again failing the test of general acceptance. Many experienced cutters
prefer to control the lathe manually to this day.

better sounding acceleration limiters for the cutter stylus,

Ditto.

better "lacquer" disc materials (less noise)

Questionable benefit.

My measurements show that modern 180 gram pressings are no quieter than well
made LPs from the 60s and 70s.

and generally less 'colored' electronics all through the system.

Not really an advancement of the vinyl LP, but an advancement of the general
audio art.
