The thing that quantum physics tells us is (again) about knowing. Considering the example of Schrodinger's cat, we must consider the cat as simultaneously dead and alive. It is a wave function to describe it. Or consider a particle. Is it a particle or a wave or both? Quantum physics is a model to describe this sort of thing rigorously. But like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it shows us that knowing some things is beyond our reach. I don't think that alters what reality means behind the scenes. It just shows that there are strict limits on what we can know.
