There is no problem introduced by noticing that there exists a horizon to the universe. It’s also in no way what so ever a new “discovery”, but a basic concept based on how horizons work in the first place.
The only “new” “discovery” I’m aware of is just a theory about our galaxy being roughly in the center of a less dense area of the universe that’s ~ 2 billion lightyears across. There has been observational evidence for it for many years, but the new info correlates it with dark energy observations as well as distance/density observations, or thereabouts.
Yea, that’s definitely a detail that doesn’t jive with the homogeniety assumed of the universe for the Big Bang model, but a lack of perfect homogeniety doesn’t itself disprove the big bang, it just means the single assumption about the smoothness of space needs to be thrown out.

There’s that and what seems to be a preferred direction of spin on a galactic scale. But it’s not every galaxy.
