That requires a double assumption about not just quantum immortality, but about "subjective measure / what happens next" continuing into all copies of a computation, rather than just the local causal future of a computation.

Right, MWI has a different causal structure than other multiverses and quantum immortality is a distinct case of, call it 'modal-realist immortality'. I do tend to forget that.
