There is non-zero measure on a branch that starts with you terminally ill and gradually proceeds to you miraculously recovering. So if you consider normally recovered you to be you, nothing stops you from considering this low-measure you to also be you.
I have never heard of anyone going to sleep as one of a pair of twins and waking up as the other.
According to MWI everyone wakes up as multiple selves all the time.
The point of the third assumption is that those revival simulations are not just similar to you, but actually “you”. “You” of this instant is a particular observer-moment that is being computed in a multitude of quantum branches or universes.
What we want is orthogonal though, right? Unless you think that metaphysics is so intractable to reason about logically that the best we can do is go by aesthetics.

To adapt Woody Allen, I don’t want to achieve immortality by imagining that someone else is me, I want to achieve immortality by not dying.

Well, that is your third assumption. But it requires that the multiple instances are identical: if one is dying, all are. If one is revived, all are.
