Even though I do think decoherence-based MWI is a better model than Copenhagen non-interpretation, it doesn’t look like there are any new arguments in support or against it on LW anyway.
Having read the Quantum Physics Sequence, I think Eliezer himself would agree with that. I think the actual point was to show the crushing power of already existing arguments, to showcase a foolish long-standing rejection of compelling arguments by very bright people.
Still, from time to time people start discussing it here without even using those collected arguments and counterarguments well—ten old posts hurt nobody, the complain seemed to be about ongoing things.
The point was also to familiarize the readers with MWI and convince them of it so that it could then be used as a source of evidence and examples for some points about identity and free will.

Yes, I forgot that. I recall being… relieved, to see that mundane physics can solve seemingly hard philosophical questions.
