Yes, Bell's theorem is such a strong result. 1. locality 2. (local) reality 3. statistical independence

Only 2 can hold at once and there's consensus to have 1. and 3., with that we lose the hidden variables. Instead, having 1. and 2. hold would be so interesting.

In some sense, MWI also gets rid of 3, though it's not commonly seen like that. Essentially in MWI any experiment has all possible results, so the concept of statistical independence jsut doesn't make sense.

Either way, MWI is by far the most popular interpretation that is both local and realistic.
