Quantum Mechanics becomes less mysterious.

No, it actually shows that the Penrose proposal is wrong. The basic paradox still remains.

Quantum mechanics is still the best description and is still probabilistic in essence.

Disagree as usual on your use of the term probabilistic. I believe this research and other recent research like what @LegionOnomaMoi cited are leading to a non-paradox predictable and consistent explanation of these relationships in Quantum Mechanics. Penrose may not be totally wrong. It indicates he is working on a better work, an dI will look forward to what he comes up with.

Probabilistic: quantum mechanics predicts probability distributions, not what happens in individual events.

The Penrose proposal was geared to 'explain' wave function collapse, which is what gives individual events. But, the predictions of this proposal have been shown to be wrong.

So, what is left, is the standard quantum mechanics, which predicts probabilities.

QM actually has no paradoxes internally. The problems all come from trying to interpret quantum phenomena classically: with particles in definite locations with definite properties at all times.

But we *know* that is a type of interpretation that cannot work.
