I would disagree with the "Nothing with magic is hard science fiction." idea as by its very nature if TL13+ is possible then we certainly wouldn't understand the technology it produces as it would fit under Clarke's "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Heck, I would say we have a hard handle on what TL12 does that some of it goes what Isaac Arthur calls Clarketech
