Agreed. One of the first things I learned early in Physics was to choose your model wisely. There are many models, some will be accurate for the problem you are solving, while others will not (or will not be tractable). Often a simplification (simple harmonic oscillation, thermodynamics, etc) gives excellent insight and results, and in others a change of perspective (lagrangian dynamics, state-space) are helpful. Although there are cases strikingly close to Classical (photon optics, charge quantization, etc) where quantum effects become significant and useful, they are rare. It is mostly in the realm of (sub)atomic and interstellar where obviously quantum and relativistic effects (other than magnetism) become necessary to consider.

As much as I dream of understanding the non-local modifications necessary for quantum gravity, it doesn't seem like inserting non-determinism into classical physics has many useful effects (hah, showing I'm an engineer at heart!). I know that a lot of pop-sci goes into understanding "reality" and wave-function collapse, but I find Scott Aaronson's take on the difficulty of over-interpretation more seriously.
