This is a circular argument really; you can only interpret quantum physics in this manner if you already have an a priori commitment to the possibility of indeterminacy, so you cant really hold it up as being empirical evidence against causality.

Only to the extent that the logical system was constructed in an ad hoc manner to be capable of reproducing known results, which is a bit vacuous.
