According to Michio Kaku, Nobel laureates have taken both sides towards string theory since some of them accept it and some of them reject it, as he says here (https://www.snowboundbooks.com/book/9780385542746):

“Kaku also explains the intense controversy swirling around this theory, with Nobel laureates taking opposite sides on this vital question"

Which Nobel Laureates in physics accept string theory or work in it (apart from David Gross)?

It is hard to consider a question "vital" if the truth has no known experimentally testable consequences.

How about we ignite a big-endian/little-endian controversy instead.
 
"String theory" is not well enough defined to be able to say whether one is for or against it. Are you for or against the theory of quantum gravity?

Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
