It doesn’t actually solve epistemology, because it doesn’t show that your foundational beliefs are actually true.
OK, if you can’t justify your foundational beliefs,you might as well stick with them… but, once you have recognised that, you also shouldn’t put a high level of credence on any of your beliefs. Adopting epistemic modesty is a thing you can and should do in response to these problems, even if you don’t switch to different methods.
Edit: there are two axes here: what epistemology you should use, and how confident you should be in it.
