I really hope after this season he is done with "magical shit just happens". It was fun for a season to let the Doctor play in another wheelhouse but it got stale quickly. The series at least pretending to be sci-fi is a part of its DNA.
For all the talk about mysticism, "Space Babies," "Boom," "Dot and Bubble," and "Rogue" were all pretty standard episodes with the typical sci-fi-ish trappings. Even the Sutekh story didn't really require extra story elements to work.
In the end, I think the "magic exists now" line is pretty overblown.
