The “reality” of any QM interpretation should be taken with a grain of salt and not too seriously. There is some debate, but yet what you’re proposing goes considerably too far. The dual nature is more or less real, you can’t distill it into one exact thing.

QED describes the behavior of electrons very well. Interpretations are projected from equations but what a thing “actually” is only comes from the models.

It can be hard to let go of wanting to come up with an intuitively satisfying explanation but there is not one. Your brain evolved in s world where experiences are classical not quantum. Unless you spend a ton of time interacting with quantum systems (and still maybe not) you’re not going to come up with an intuitively satisfying explanation of what an electron is.
