I don't know what it means for the universe to be "purely quantum", or what it means to be a "distant observer" yet somehow not interacting. A wave function in itself is not observable. Is it real? Definitional. Is it a physical phenomenon? Dubious. All we know is that as a model it is consistent with what we observe. What actually can be measured (and can reasonably be considered real and physical in that sense) can only be predicted probabilistically using quantum mechanics. It's like saying that I can perfectly predetermine the outcome of a dice roll—it's between one and six.
