For example, so far I haven't run across any that have folios even remotely like the Rosettes but that doesn't mean such isn't out there to be found or found but not yet digitized. Time will tell.That is precisely right.

That is precisely right.
I agree that finding such lost treasures would be wonderful but I think it is unlikely to happen. I can't imagine many people will bother to look unless you did something like The Vesuvius Challenge and it would take money to do that.

I can only advise that researching in an archive, even 'just' a library, in order to find a specific and desired item, is the wrong approach.
Don't ever expect to go to an archive and be the first to search any part of it. Or to be among the first 20.

However it makes sense to try to track down certain documents.

One thing I can add here is that knowing which manuscript you would like to see requires digging deep into a particular subject.
There is a subjective passion required to drive one to find undigitized documents.
There needs to be a specific research question, a curiosity to have particular questions answered by these missing documents. This is why, when someone asks which documents I'd like to see digitized, I find this question hard to answer. This is often dependent on one's current research.
