A good decision theory performs well in many problems and not only in one problem. Having a decision theory that solves Newcomb's Problem but that doesn't perform well for other problems isn't helpful.
There isn't yet the ultimate decision theory that solves everything so I don't see how individual problems can be declared solved.
