From - “Reasonableness works directly with reality, whereas rationality works with formalisms. Rationalism assumes that a formalism somehow reflects reality, and glosses over questions about how that works.”

I think this articulates the strain in your writing that has always felt wrong to me. I agree about the dangers of believing your formalism somehow really is reality. I don't think any cognitive process can work "directly with reality" rather than through models and formalisms.

Ah, interesting… I hope that reading that part of the book will change your mind! An intuition pump, maybe: do insects use models and formalisms? Bacteria? Even bacteria interact with the world in complex, goal-directed, effective ways.
