Plus, to be clear, the chance that cryonics works is (as far as I can tell) low.

It's not a pascal's wager - the number is low, but not that low, maybe 1-20% - and even if it isn't good enough for that, it'd still probably help an AI that's trying to "bring back a little bit" of a person, so it's definitely worthwhile. Just not a sure thing.
