I didn't see that that was Dirac. It sounded too kooky. Looking into that, I see L. Infeld responded to Dirac's letter essentially stating an aether was not necessarily required.

Dirac also didn't develop this concept into a theory. I don't know whether he realized it may be false or was just unable to pursue the idea.

In Q.E.D., Feynman got around the ether problem by emphasizing that the
photon is a particle.  All particles have wave/particle duality.  Electrons
are fairly-well localized particles, yet they exhibit wave behavior, too,
as do neutrons and protons.  So they're all particles and don't need no
stinking ether.
