Philosophical zombies

That seems about right to me, yeah. I'm leaning towards saying we are all zombies, or rather, it makes no difference if we are or not. It's the same thing.

Spiritualism/dualism seems to me to be just an argument from incredulity/complexity. Consciousness and "experiences" seem so amazing and difficult to explain that they must be distinct from the physical world somehow. But if they aren't physical, what are they? Supposing some dual plane doesn't provide any more explanatory power, it just hides this claim from analysis.

Is there stuff going on we don't know about? Almost certainly. But why claim it's non-physical? That's just asserting we will never know about it.
