Are they 100% correct? ;-)

Modern quantum electrodynamics is, as far as we know, completely
correct.

Not quite. At sufficiently high order, the nucleus can no longer be
regarded as a point particle, and corrections from the form factor
of the proton (for hydrogen) must be taken into account.

OK, but there is no puzzle here. It is clear why the corrections are
needed. Presumably, though in practice it would be more difficult, one
could treat the constituents of the nucleus as point particles and
calculate the result exactly. There is no indication that the theory
itself breaks down. (At some level, gravity will enter the picture, but
that is a really low-level effect.)
