Having read that letter, I don't find it very becoming of the scientists writing it who should know better. Regardless of what you think about IIT and its merits or lack thereof, it results in some predictions that can be tested, and while some of the work is certainly hard to carry out, it provides a framework for future experiments.
The letter sounds to me like it was written by a bunch of high schoolers who are butthurt that their pet theories of consciousness are not the leading one in the press. To label it pseudoscience arbitrarily is a bridge too far and does not reflect well on the signees.
