Some physicists blame JvN for the blind faith in the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics due to his no hidden variables proof that was later shown to be invalid. Is this criticism valid?

Thank you for the detailed answer! It is a little sad that Grete Hermann rebuttal was ignored (possibly because of sexism?) until John Bell came along.
I just purchased the book and I’m looking forward to reading it!
