Nonsentient AI doing all the work necessary is a far better option. The protocol regulating uploading and multiplying them should be implemented in time.
An upload may be only a pleasure recipient, nothing else.
So you would contrive to make it illegal and/or impossible for an upload to do any productive work? At least none that they receive more benefit from than the average of all others?
Sooner or later, it becomes non-optimal for a human (or an upload) to do ANY kind of work. I can't imagine anything, what could be only done by a human (or an upload).
If you want something to be done, there is an optimal set of algorithms which will do that the best. Having humans (or uploads) for doing it, is just a relict of the past, when it was the only way.
