That may be a bit simplistic. As you know, QM effects have been proposed at the level of the cell's microtubules.
More generally, it seems strange if classical physics/chemistry is sufficient to explain biology and consciousness, even when there is a much richer and more subtle structure to reality just a little further down.
Finally, I don't believe standard QM will bring any new insight into consciousness (unless perhaps Stapp's approach is right), because for example entanglement comes without information transfer. However, my guess is that QM (which can only really be tested in a few very special experimental situations) is an approximation to something more subtle still (Bohm).
