Of course we have a choice. The primacy of consciousness may entail nothing more than an epistemological barrier - we may never be able to experience reality directly, or know its true form, but that doesn't force us to deny the possibility of an objective reality.
If nothing else it forces us to remain agnostic. We can be sure of the primacy of consciousness - on this we agree - but we cannot be sure about anything of the reality that pushes back on our consciousness. Your certainty on this matter is a red flag for me.
