Fully agree that if there's ever effectively FTL space travel it probably won't involve chucking ships through wormholes or accelerating them to c.
I wouldn't be shocked if someone came up with a theoretical basis for weird frame of effect/space bending BS or information teleportation + ridiculously detailed fabrication FTL. Also, while it's true quantum phenomenon don't percolate up to the macro scale that much on their own (anything that does isn't considered a phenomenon, just the way the world works) they do if you force them. 100 years ago maybe 10 people in the world knew what an entangled bell state was, now we're building super computers based on them with processing power of 2^n for every n bits which is likely to have an earthshattering effect on the everyday individual sometime within the next 20 years. I wouldn't say never with regards to some form of FTL exploiting a similarly weird effect noone really knows about yet.
