Changing everything from "material" to "quantumish" does nothing to change the fundamental problems. The only thing that's consciousness-like in QM is stuff made up by people who seem satisfied with made-up solutions. If there is a hard problem, and if it is solved with QM, it will simply be because some quantum mechanical mechanisms are required in the brain.
So I'm happy for Stapp to continue his work. It might prove fruitful. But I don't think we're going to find libertarian free will in there.
