Perfect knowledge about everything is only possible if strict determinism holds
It’s normally quite trivial to extend results from deterministic situations to probabilistically deterministic situations. But are you concerned about the possible existence of libertarian free will?
The non existence of real ,as opposed to merely logical, counterfactuals follows trivially from determinism, but determinism is a very non trivial assumption
If we already know what decision you are going to take, we can’t answers questions about what decision is best in a non-trivial sense without constructing a new situation where this knowledge has been erased.

“Probablistically deterministic” means “indeterministic” for all purposes relevant to the argument. If you are forced to calculate proabilities because more than one thing can actually happen, then you are in world with
real counteractuals and an open future, and it is therefore automatically false that counterfactuals are only logical.
