I have absolutely no knowledge of quantum mechanics beyond a pop-sci understanding, and I've only briefly skimmed the abstract and intro of the paper, but my impression is that it doesn't override this. Rather the direction of significance runs the other way; we now have strict limits on what kind of things in "quantum magic" are computable.
Also note that this result still ultimately involves oracles with unlimited computational power (it does not construct these oracles). The interesting part is that these oracles are potentially malicious and can lie and it is the verifier's job to come up with a strategy to play an interactive game with these oracles to tease out the real answer (with a high probability of correctness).
