I do accept what you have said (indeed it's chaos theory dogma that I am mostly still on board with!) but I also think reality is quite far from binary in whether chaos-theory concepts apply-to-it-or-not, seems a bit like it's mixed-in everywhere a bit, depending how information is mixing. (I'm calling chaos Class-3 Automata style) There are, I think still tools that we can build and use even in the face of this type of sensitivity to initial conditions!
