Compared to Sabine Hossenfelder I prefer the approach from Stephen Wolfram. I must admit I don't like the book from Sabine ("Lost in math") at all. She only argues we have not made a breakthrough for decades which is rather obvious. Stephen at least tries to make such a breakthrough. Sabine does not.
What I like about Stephen's approach is that he really tries to find the fundamental theory of physics, no matter how hard it may be or how many iterations it requires. There is boldness in his "Let's go & find the fundamental theory!" approach. I like his boldness, optimism and perseverance.

I need to study it more to give my opinion on it, but some general comments:
a) I expect the mainstream physics community will reject it. As a start
I noticed Sabine Hossenfelder retweeted a "bullshit"-tweet about it.
b) I'm a big fan of Stephen Wolfram and in general have confidence in his work. But, of course, good people also make honest mistakes.
