Yup agreed, all intelligence must be connectionist; but I think you can go further than empirical and claim that getting ahead of “vanilla” connectionism is possible only by other things that are, themselves, also connectionism. In other words, the interesting paradigms are the subsets of connectionism. After all, category theory is connectionist too.
