The epistemic interpretation just says the wf is our mathematical

If that is the definition of epistemic, then any mathematical physics
is epistemic ("ur mathematical representation of what we know"):
It is the definition of epistemic. And it is in contrast to the ontic
interpretation of QM which says that the wave function is real and
changing it due to a measurement must be described a some physical
process, not just taking the measurement into account to update our
knowledge.

Einstein Field Equations [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equations ] is epistemic
Maxwell's Equations [
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_equations ] is epistemic,

Obvious we write down down some math to model some aspect of nature,
because that's what we know to do.
