I’m not sure I understand you. Are you saying that the reason most people don’t subscribe to cryonics is not that they think that it is unlikely to work but some other reason, and so convincing people that it is unlikely to work is compatible with convincing people to do it? In that case that seems to me like a reasonable point of view.
It is certainly true that, independent of how likely you think cryonics is to work, most people stay unsubscribed not because they don’t think it will work but because it’s weird.
Because “it will never work” is not the main reason why people don’t subscribe for cryonics.

Yes. Effect from convincing people that cryonics is socially acceptable far outweights lower success estimates.
