CM explains the stability of matter just fine, once you accept that the electron ceases to radiate when it reaches the point that a further change in energy would require a concurrent change in angular momentum that is less than that required to form a photon. IOW a violation of the conservation of angular momentum, for the electron photon ensemble. IMO It is this which prevents the electron from permanently collapsing into the nucleus via photon emission.
