What do you mean by existence is platonic? Dualism doesn't get past the law of excluded middle so there is something left wanting when it comes to dualism. Similarly wave/particle duality isn't a solution. It is pinpointing a problem and the problem pertains to space and time.
Rationally speaking, wave/particle duality leads to two similar issues although in many ways they are very different:
1. the measurement problem and
2. entanglement
Entanglement is not necessarily a problem when the entangled quanta don't appear to be separated by a distance. When they are in fact separated by a distance then you get what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance and that poses a problem for the determinist.

I'm not particularly a determinist btw.
When considering the first hard problem (why there is something rather than nothing) it is often formulated as the Mind, Math, Matter problem as all solutions fall into one of those categories. Idealism is the Mind camp. realism/physicalism/materialism in the Matter camp and the third camp is platonic. Not really a good term but is based on Platos' "Forms". So any first cause that postulates say "Math" falls under platonism. It's not really a dualist position in the normative sense. There isn't really a separation of realms or whatever dualists believe.
