Re: the "unknown" wording: this is its own discussion to some extent, but I think that in this specific case it actually is descriptive. We shouldn't say that anything not spelled out to the viewer was "unknown", it's true; but that the Timeless Child's species was unknown in the universe, with nothing to identify it in all the tests Tecteun performed, is in fact one of the salient in-universe features of that species within the DWU. The fact that the Timeless Child's species is an "unknown species" is as relevant as the fact that the Doctor's name was "unknown".
