The existence of God and Free Will feel like religious problems that philosophers took interest in, and good riddance to them.
Whether the experience of suffering/pain is fictional or not is a hot topic in some circles, but both sides are quite insistent about being good church-going “materialists” (whatever that means).
As for “knowledge”, I agree that question falls apart into a million little subproblems. But it took the work of analytic philosophers to pull it apart, and after much labor. You’re currently reaping the rewards of that work and the simplicity of hindsight.
