I don't think a hylomorphist rejects what you've said here. A hylomorphic soul, form (or what have you) can be an emergent phenomenon and still have an intelligible "that-ness" about it. But the specifics of hylomorphism concerning emergence due to efficient causes is waaaaaay out of my wheelhouse. The issue may be a source of contention among hylomorphists even.
