That depends on what you consider a hint. Quantum mechanics predicts that
by changing the setting on an instrument we can influence what happens
arbitrarily large distances away. There has never been a shred of
experimental evidence supporting such action at a distance. This is more
than a hint at limitations. It is a powerful argument suggesting that
quantum mechanics is false.

The fact that general relativity and quantum mechanics are not mutually
consistent is another hint that all is not well.

I have repeatedly challenged this group to come up with objective reasons
for preferring existing formulations of quantum mechanics to the assumption
that quantum collapse is local physical process. If you are convinced
there are no hints to the limitations of quantum mechanics, you must
have excellent arguments against quantum collapse as a physical local
process. I would love to see them.
