I almost included epigenetics in this post as a driving force, but, it is not official one. Hence I didn't. But I will explore the topic in one of the following parts. I wouldnt call it lamarkism though.

Check out https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.3603 . Many other examples too. There are only 4 "official" forces of evolution. Sexual and natural selection fall under the same force. I'm not sure what you would call epigenetics, but it does play a role in evolution, particularly in mammals through imprinting.

By all means, it does play a role. It's one of the levels of gene regulation.
You tweak gene expression and you get whole another set of phenotypes.
