Two other potential forms of redundancy:

  • Future civilizations have the power and motivation to restore even people who were simply buried

  • Everything you ever coherently wanted to get out of cryopreservation can be achieved by a cheaper method, e.g. having children

I don't think the first point has significant probability, but I'll throw it out there in case it inspires someone to find more possibilities I've overlooked.
