I think it would help if we taboo consciousness and instead talk about existence (“the hard problem”/”first-person-ness”/”camp #2“, maybe also “realityfluid”) and awareness (“the easy problem”/”conscious-of-what”/”camp #1”, maybe also “algorithm”). I agree with much of your reasoning, though I think the case that can be made for most cells having microqualia awareness seems very strong to me; whether there are larger integrated bubbles of awareness seems more suspect.
Edit: someone strong upvoted, then someone else strong downvoted. Votes are not very helpful; can you elaborate in a sentence or two or use phrase reacts?
