An enormously complex set of rules is more likely to produce bizarre edge cases/inconsistencies/glitches. So far, we arguably we haven't observed any.

From the POV of 19th centure physics, the double-slit experiment was quite the glitch.
And one could argue that the consequence of that glitch did not exactly simplify physics.
These rules we are addressing here weren't constructed by a human. We don't even know if they were constructed at all. It could be a perfect set of rules despite the complexity.
I'm more on the side of simplicity just because it seems that way, but technically and logically speaking... there is no evidence at all against what the OP said.
