You're saying you have to engineer chip components so they're small enough not to be hit as often by cosmic rays, but large enough to avoid quantum fluctuations? Are quantum fluctuations something Intel is dealing with regularly as they get down under 3nm?

Yes, quantum tunneling (an electron "teleporting" into or out of transistors) has been an issue everyone has had to design around for multiple process nodes now.
