Almost by definition interpretations are not falsifiable. The many world interpenetration is literally equivalent to the other interpretations, because they all describe how we understand the meaning of the same mathematical model; and it is that model that is making predictions.
In my opinion (as a mathematician, not a physicist), the many worlds interpretation is the more natural way to read quantum theory. That is to say, if I were tasked to design a universe given quantum physics as the specification, my naive implementation would correspond to the many worlds interpretation.
An equally valid interpretation is that we are a computer simulation, and quantum physics describes the rounding behavior of said simulation. As far as I am concerned the only point of having an interpretation is to help build an intuition for the models.
