That doesn't tell us anything though: Almost every single physical phenomenon we can start to model mathematically looked impossible at some point in history. Just because something's hard is not a reason to expect it's magic.
If consciousness is somehow un-model-able, that will most likely be for a different reason, where the premise itself is somehow flawed, like how we can't bottle phlogiston or calculate the rate of air turning into maggots.
