The uncertainty principle is deeper than that. Not only is it impossible to perfectly measure both momentum and position, but they are not both simultaneously well-defined even in perfect conditions — the uncertainty in each is itself a real property.
I would also be somewhat surprised if the most detailed scan possible under QM is even necessary for a functionally-perfect copy of consciousness: The perceptron model used in artificial neural nets is a mere toy in comparison to a real neurone, yet very effective at duplicating interesting behaviours.

This also implies trying to "dig deeper" doesn't matter - there's nothing to dig up. From this follows that either 1) "the most detailed scan possible under QM" is at least sufficient to capture the entirety of consciousness, or 2) there's something beyond QM we have no clue about, that makes uncertainty not fundamental, or 3) consciousness is magic and the universe makes no sense.
I find 2) unlikely, and 3) is religion (the "separate magisterium from science" kind).
