What about all of the disputes between Beis Hillel and Beis Shammai?
Mishnayos are full of them and they were in this period of the Bayis
Sheini.

The Rambam in Hilchos Mamrim seems to take a much more black and white
approach. The Rambam writes in Hilchos Mamrim
"Kol din shenolad lo safek l'echad miyisrael" seems to include everything
in the resolution of the Beis Din Hagadol. The Rambam seems to be saying
that there were no disputes when there was a Beis Din Hagadol
