Or maybe a better way of asking... Are you saying that the "measurement problem", as still viewed by Copenhagen, ultimately suggests a fundamental role of the observer?

You have to understand observer in QM is not necessarily an organic conscious observer. In modern times its anything that causes decoherence ie is an interaction. With that in mind in Copenhagen observer is absolutely fundamental.
