I hadn’t considered the possibility of a paperclipper being able to do anything that could keep life from restarting from scratch. (Which is probably just one of many reasons I shouldn’t be an AI gatekeeper...)
Re your third point; once there are no longer any sapient beings left in the universe in which to judge the coolness of anything, do you feel it really matters whether or not they continue to exist? That is, do you feel that objects have some sort of objective measure of coolness which is worthwhile to preserve even in the absence of any subjective viewpoints to make coolness evaluations?

Do you care intrinsically about anything which isn’t a mind? This seems to be something that would vary individually.
It’s an interesting question; so far, the closest I have to an answer is that any timeline which doesn’t have minds within it to do any caring, seems to be to not be worth caring about. Which leads to the answer to your question of ‘nope’.
