I concur with this completely. Rejecting p-zombies as a concept aligns you either with (3) or (4) of the toy framing above, depending on if you're materialist (consciousness emerges from physical phenomenon/doesn't exist) or non-materialist (consciousness emerges from non-physical phenomenon, and does so universally) about the follow on question.
This is begging the question of p-zombie existence. Searle and Chalmers both think it's possible for arbitrarily complex systems to exist without qualia. But given that qualia is unmeasurable, there's no way to know for sure.
That's why I consider the statement of the problem to be faith-based. It is possible that consciousness is an emergent property, and qualia is experienced by every sufficiently-complex system. Declaring that p-zombies are conceivable requires assuming that this is not so.
