Those uploads would probably be outcompeted by uploads that feel extreme pain any time they aren't working.
Only if nobody succeeded in developing non-pain-based cognitive architecture modifications that achieved competitive results. E.g., making work addictive via positive feedback.
Very simplified POCs are already feasible in lab rats, so I expect future ems (which would allow for very rapid and extensive modification and testing) could solve the problem for humans. The interesting question is whether there will be legal or market pressures for anyone to work on the problem at all.
