Are elementary particles real (per any variant of scientific realism)?

the like given renormalization. That we’re able to track universality and characterize unknown higher energy contributions (with the flow/couplings) is such a unique result, and a few people are developing variants of realism specific to such theories.
That would be nice. I feel like plenty of people can do QFT but hardly anyone conceptually understands it to the level of making ontological assertions
