> The description that General Relativity puts forth ... needs to be augmented to include an uncertain position that has a probability distribution to it.

i am sorry but 'needs' is too strong here

quantisation(o) was established before, necessarily so, probability was introduced to explain the behaviour of electromagnetic phenomena

to claim that probability is necessary for quantisation seems to have it reversed

the current understanding is both unknown whether gravity is quantised but also whether probability is necessary to describe quantum behaviour

with current understanding the only thing one can say with certainty is that requiring probability is a result of the math used to best model quantum behaviour of electromagnetic phenomena, namely fourier analysis(i)
