Near the root, I would always expect some messiness at the fuse-wing intersection where the cl reporting is doing challenging math in the chordwise direction where it will cross over lifting and non-lifting bodies.
At the tips, I have sometimes fought these artifacts off in panel mode with a combination of cap type and tessellation. These days, I would leverage the thin <> thick combo. The thin wing wingtips behave better as you can see in the quick example I made by removing the wing from the thick set and turning on your thin set
Since your fuse has a sharp trailing edge, you might consider a lifting element there if you can loft a continuous wing that represents the planform well enough for early design studies. Otherwise playing with root clustering may improve some of the pressure spikes at the fuse<>wing intersection. Its challenging with a chine like this as the real-world behavior will be hard to capture with these methods outside of low AOA. You should also twist this swept wing to avoid tip stall.
Best of luck!
