Unfortunately, it seems that there are very few people seriously working on
radical ideas like the models proposed by 't Hooft.
My favorite idea is that particles are not real. You could imagine that QM
is an effective statistical theory (similar to what 't Hooft says) in which
particles appear in a similar way as virtual particles appear in quantum
field theory.
If the Feynman rules had been discovered by experimentalists, you would have
discussions about photons and electrons violating causality except when we
observe them...
