At most any model can describe some part of reality with a given validity. Some models don't have any region of validity so we shouldn't use them. I think saying that 'all models are wrong' is kind of, rhetorical rather than instructive.
Donald hoffman says something exactly like that in this talk. David Bohm came the same conclusion science will never fully figure it out the answer is much spiritual and imaginative
Why? because ultimately we are talking about a empty field of space propagated by light, similar to holograms. Things that grow here things that stem from this world do you think they really are what they appear to be? Of course not. So what are they god damnit? perhaps its better to not answer the question and like a good old mystic leave it be and open a portal to another dimension and have this experience for one self
The errors/issues here are much higher in the stack than what Hoffman and Bohm are getting that at the levels you note, though Bohm in addition to that also spoke a lot about language and communication (which is an important part of the issue here).
Asking if the model is wrong is asking the wrong question; the important question is whether it's useful.
