Wormholes are not non-local though. They continuously connect two regions of spacetime. It's not different than saying you can go from the south to north pole by passing through Paris or by passing through Beijing.

QFT is no more non-local than QM in general

Insofar as they create a shorter path for information to flow along, they are nonlocal.

It does not allow instantaneously affecting spacelike separated points in spacetime so it's not non-local

I’m sure there’s a vocabulary in terms of local domains and being affected beyond the constraints of the light-cone as expressed on space time absent the wormhole so the absolute definition you offer can probably be tempered.
