To be fair, we didn't have a lot of confidence in those models to start with. We knew we were guessing and going to be wrong about large parts of it.
We don't have anything to replace it yet, but this decade is proving to be the golden age of exoplanet research. I'd say we anticipate having much better theories and data soon, rather than that we've proved the given system wrong. We're still rapidly pushing the envelope on what we can and can't detect, so this is entirely the wrong time to write a new system.
