I'm not saying these things are 100% correct, do your own research.
Read the comments, they're interesting as well.
Part 1
I think that if philosophical materialism is incorect, and philosophical idealism is proven to be correct, that could possibly mean that the information that are encoded in genes aren't necessarily physical or material, in the same way that neuroscience has many questions about the brain that can't be answered through material assumptions. If philosophical idealism is true, then we have to learn and incorporate a new dimension into your understanding of biology and that is where the answer can lie.
Emerging research, from Michael Levin has shown that cells displays agency, can solve problems, have preferences, etc.
I conclude that cells have a consciousness, and this could mean that biology is fundamentally consciousness.
James A. Shapiro has proposed a mechanism for how organisms evolve, where cells may change their GENOMES to solve problems, for example, Michael Levin said that he put a planaria in a barium solution that killed a portion of its body and it regenerated and became barium resistant by modifying its genome. (or something like that)

I hope I explained everything here and gave it justice, to those who are scientifically stingy and expect perfect answers/explanations.
Just something cool that I thought I should share.

Part 2
By the way, I'm not refuting things like people's IQ don't really change in their lifetime. Most people don't have any noteworthy change in their intelligence over time, but...
I recently had a conversation with @alpslover about genetics.

I think that neurons change their DNA to better cope with stressors. For example, if you're consistently solving hard problems, your neurons change their DNA to better assist you biologically to solve problems. Note how this isn't epigenetic, it's genetic.
This is also how immune cells customize themselves for certain pathogens, they literally sit there and ponder how to change the genes of a white blood cell that would allow it to exterminate the pathogen.
Cells can change DNA (look at meiosis and genetic recombination)

This could actually be how evolution occurs predominantly, and not primarily through natural selection.
Again, this could explain IQ fluctuation amongst populations over time.
It's really interesting science and I think it could genuinely unleash something huge.

Part 1
Here is where things get philosophical.You are right that CRISPR is currently limited to simpler genetic edits, and polygenic traits are a whole different ballgame. The complexity of how multiple genes interact to produce physical traits is far beyond what we can manipulate right now sadly as you mentioned.
But that’s why I think CRISPR is just the beginning (hopefully), the deeper we go into this topic, the more we realize how little we know, which is why the future of genetic engineering might lie in completely new approaches that transcend our current understanding of it.
We might need to combine info from quantum biology, bioinformatics, and maybe evenn AI to understand complexities of polygenic traits and move beyond crispr. Kinda exciting tbh if we can make an actual breakthrough

So, I think we don't funny understand genetics completely. I actually just talked to someone about this.IQ is the entire structure, there's no way to improve it by limited exercise, if you believe so it means you don't understand what it is
By the way, I'm not refuting things like people's IQ don't really change in their lifetime. Most people don't have any noteworthy change in their intelligence over time, but...
