No, I do not agree.
Observable natural world may or may not be all there is. But the fact that it is in principle unobservable means in its broadest sense whatever may or may not be there has no detectable impact in principle and is thus totally indistibguishable from not being there.
So to assert there must be something worth asserting there is about the same as a petulent fart in polite company.
You can't ever know it is there, so don't pretend it is there.

Then your experience is irrelevent. Appending your experience to description of quantum event as if it were relevent is at best a non sequitar, at worst a conscious duplicity aimed at exploiting loopholes in listener's knowledge base of quantum physics and cognative perception.
