I think we should disentangle “consciousness” from “identity” in general and when talking about computationalism in particular.
I don’t think there is any reasonable alternative to computationalism when we are talking about the nature of consciousness. But this doesn’t seem to actually imply that my “identity”, whatever it is, will be necessary preserved during teleportation or uploading. I think at our current state of undertstanding, it’s quite coherent to be computationalist about consciousness and eliminativist towards identity.
