Maybe. I appreciate you considering it. And since we were just talking about confidence, I'm not super confident in this going anywhere. Just enough to mention it.
EDIT: OTOH, maybe this is a good time to mention again how much more efficient the story would be if monsters from the other side of the gate came to this side. Then we could learn more about what's on the other side of the gate without having to travel there.
Confidence: Probably less than the previous, but I'd be excited for this to happen. Finding out just that the gates are related to people knowing what the Monster in the Dark is would be meh.
