If the chance of survival is p, then in both cases P(I survive) = p, P(I survive | I’m there to observe it) = 1.
Indeed, the anthropic principle explains the result of quantum suicide, whether or not you subscribe to the MWI. The real question is whether you ought to commit quantum suicide (and harness its anthropic superpowers for good). It’s a question of morality.
I would say quantum suiciding is not “harnessing its anthropic superpowers for good”, it’s just conveniently excluding yourself from the branches where your superpowers don’t work. So it has no more positive impact on the universe than you dying has.

I think you are correct.
