I also have a hard time disbelieving in global variables. We have a lot of evidence validating quantum field theories, and the fields in QFT are global.

Only in a trivial sense. Quantum Field theories are explicitly local theories, constructed from Langrangians which purposefully have and express Lorentz invariance, exactly to maintain locality.

In any case, quantum field theories are good at predicting stuff but almost certainly not descriptions of the true fundamental dynamics of the universe, given their known and relatively well understood divergences.
