I don’t have any arguments that weren’t discussed in that post; so far as I can tell, it already adequately addressed your objection:
QM doesn’t have to be the end of the road. If QM is a good approximation of reality on the scales it claims to predict in the situations we have already tested it in—if the math of QM does describe reality to some degree or other—then that’s enough for the quantum tests of particle identity to work exactly.
to put it mildly I don’t believe anyone can address that objection satisfactorily, as wedrifid put it eloquently, the math is part of the map, not territory.

agreed, that was partially my point a couple of posts ago. for practical reasons it’s good enough that the math works to a degree.
