I can’t think offhand of a simple discovery which would imply literally giving up on cryonics
OK. More instrumentally, then. What evidence would make you stop paying the cryo insurance premiums with CI as the beneficiary and start looking for alternatives?
Anders publishes that, CI announces they intend to go on vitrifying patients anyway, Alcor offers a chop-off-your-head-and-dunk-in-liquid-nitro solution. Not super plausible but it’s off the top of my head.
Not really, but yours is an uncharitable interpretation of my question, which is to evaluate the utility of spending some $100/mo on cryo vs spending it on something (anything) else, not “I have this dedicated $100/mo lying around which I can only spend toward my personal future revival”.

No pun intended?
Can you name currently available alternatives to cryonics which accomplish a similar goal?
Apologies, misinterpreted the question.
