Why do you think it is rational to ignore tiny probabilities? I don’t think you can make maximizer ignore tiny probabilities. And some probabilities are not tiny, they are unknown (black swans), why do you think it is rational to ignore them?
In my opinion ignoring self preservation is contradictory to maximizer’s goal.
I understand that this is popular opinion, but it is not proven in any way. The opposite (focus on self preservation instead of paperclips) has logical proof (Pascal’s wager).

Maximizer can use robust decision making (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_decision-making) to deal with many contradictory choices.
