The Born rule, understood as probabilities are predicted by state vector amplitudes squared, is not a problem.  Gleason's theorem shows that this is the only mathematically consistent probability measure on a Hilbert space.  The other part of the Born rule, that QM results/are probabilistic

When you say the MWI + Born rule "yields an unambiguous framework for a fundamental theory" are you assuming the idea of probability being equal to amplitude squared only applies to "measurements", or that it would somehow apply at all times in the MWI? If the former there would seem to be some
