This is wrong. We already know that these equations do not model correctly the real world. No model correctly models the real world and every model breaks down eventually at one point or another. Showing that a certain set of equations leads to non-unique results under certain conditions means nothing, unless you also show that those ‘certain conditions’ are true in cases where we previously assumed the model to hold. If you only show that in cases where we previously also assumed the equations not to hold, they actually output nonsense, this may be a mathematically curious and nice result but of no physical relevance.
So far, this result looks more like realising that Newton’s gravitational field diverges for a point particle of nonzero mass, which is not really any indication whatsoever that it doesn’t correctly model the real world.
