First I would say that uniformitarianism is more than an assumption; I would call it properly basic. Similarly, I am of the opinion that the ability to model the world descriptively strongly suggests an underlying proscriptive order and that in the absence of a defeater, that should be the default position.
With respect to epistemological limits, I mean things our current models cannot even in theory determine or know, like those I mentioned. For example, if the universe is expanding in such a way that the distance between our galaxy and some others increases at a rate that can never be traversed at the speed of light then there is no way we could even know about it. it's a hard limit, but the limit itself exists lawfully.
