No! The Everett program says the only assumption Quantum Mechanics
needs is that the Schrodinger Equation means what it says, and nobody
in their right mind thinks Quantum Mechanics as it currently exists,
or the Schrodinger Equation, describes gravity.

The Born Rule is not an assumption nor is it a theory, it is an
experimentally derived fact, a fact that EVERY quantum interpretation
makes use of.

Without Schrodinger's Equation there could be no quantum wave
function, and without the quantum wave function there could be no Born
Rule, and without the Born Rule there could be no Quantum Mechanics.
And Quantum Mechanics is the most universally applicable idea in all
of science, it works on everything except gravity, so it might be wise
to keep it around.
We keep Newtonian mechanics around too. That doesn't mean nothing
better can be found. Schroedinger's equation isn't even the only form
of QM. There are also transactional and path integral forms and
epistemic forms like QBism. And there are also slightly different
theories like Adler's emergent QM and explicit collapse theories like
GRW. All of which are the same theory at the level of "might be wise to
keep around."
