In the current technological regime, this isn't a problem...[the future] depends on the details of your preferences about measure of experience.

Quantum suicide is already a problem in the current regime, if you allow preference over measure.

Splitting and merging adds another problem, but I think it is a factual problem, not an ethical problem. At least, I think that there is a factual problem before you come to the ethical problem, which may be the same as for Born measure.
