I thought of 3 others I don’t see on the list that are now countries within 2000 mi, Curacao, Saba, and Bonaire.  From my QTH I saw one other, XE4, at 1951 but for north ATL that might be over 2K.  There could be others but these just came to mind.

Just 40 countries is surprisingly low. I had guessed 60, last night. DX4WIN shows a few others are within 2,000 miles of my QTH in Norcross including Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, Columbia, Venezuela, and Aruba. However, the centers of St. Lucia, Columbia and Venezuela are more than 2,000 miles away.

As you say, not all are that easy to work. I don't have Aves Island.
