In my experience, you really should have a closed mind to be an effective scientist

57. No he did not.

This is a letter Einstein wrote directly addressing his views on QM in 1949.

It is a bit lengthy, but a very good read. And it makes his position rather clear. He had criticisms of the completeness of QM, he did not in THE REMOTEST POSSIBLE SENSE consider it to be "woo".

For example...

"Above all, however, the reader should be convinced that I fully recognise the very important progress which the statistical quantum theory has brought to theoretical physics. In the field of mechanical problems - i.e., wherever it is possible to consider the interaction of structures and of their parts with sufficient accuracy by postulating a potential energy between material points - [this theory] even now presents a system which, in its closed character, correctly describes the empirical relations between statable phenomena as they were theoretically to be expected. This theory is until now the only one which unites the corpuscular and undulatory dual character of matter in a logically satisfactory fashion; and the (testable) relations, which are contained in it, are, within the natural limits fixed by the indeterminacy-relation, complete. The formal relations which are given in this theory - i.e., its entire mathematical formalism - will probably have to be contained, in the form of logical inferences, in every useful future theory."

There is no possible way to read that and come away thinking 'Einstein considered QM to be woo"
