I agree with your main point, but I have a nick-picky side question:
In what sense is the Copenhagen interpretation making "metaphysical" claims about wavefunctions coming into existence and then collapsing? My sense was that proponents are making a straightforward physical claim, on par with physical claims make by non-QM atomic theory. Copenhagen has not been empirically proved (or empirically disproved), but that does not make it metaphysical.
In other words, I think you might be using "metaphysical" as a synonym for "nonsensical."
