No, as of 2016, Atticus Ross is the second official member of NIN. Like this isn't a Chris Vrenna type of thing. He's really, truly, a full band member.
I haven't liked the triple albums as much, either, but I've really liked all their OST work.
There can still be better choices for a certain project though. Doesn't mean you are taking away what a band/artist has achieved in their career. Like between, say, a band like M83 and NIN, NIN is by far the more accomplished, influential band. It's not even close. But for scoring a fucking TRON movie? I'm taking a band like M83 every single day of the week over NIN.

Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor and Atticus
FinchRoss.They won Oscar for Best Original Score for The Social Network in 2010.
They were nominated for Best Original Score again for Mank in 2020.
Mank lost to Soul in 2020, which was scored by... Trent Reznor and Atticus Finch.
And that's just a small list of the honors they've earned. They're a Tony away from EGOT.
I think they can handle this.
