I’m not convinced you can get any utility from measure-reducing actions unless you can parley the advantage they give you into making more copies of yourself in the branch in which you survive. I am not happy about the situation, but it seems I will be forced endure whatever comes and there will never, ever be any escape.
Are you implying that all of the copies of yourself should meaningfully be thought of as the same person? Why would making more copies of yourself increase your utility?
Also, I take it from “never, ever be any escape” that you believe quantum immortality is true?

I think about anticipated future experiences. All future slices of me have the same claim to myself.
