But an interpretation is just that - an interpretation, which does not have any effect on the equations (or does it?), so if it's a new math that is needed for QM and GR to start looking like two ends of the same elephant, then that's what it'll take.

Today there are families of theories (Objective Collapse, Hidden Variables, and Everettian Mechanics) that are mutually exclusive. One of Sean's papers, in fact, proposes a way to falsify Everettian mechanics through experiment (though the experiment would be exceedingly difficult in practice). Copenhagen was "just an interpretation" but serious work on the subject is actually advancing work on new theories (with distinct mathematical models), not just hand-waving and dismissal.
