Also, I don’t see what you can use the concepts you bring up for, like “probability that I will get enough utility to justify cryonics upon reflection”.
This might not be the most useful concept, true, but the issue at hand is the meta-level one of people’s possible overconfidence about it.
“Probability of signing up being good”, especially obfuscated with “justified upon infinite reflection”, being subtly similar to “probability of the decision to sign up being correct”, is too much of a ruse to use without very careful elaboration. A decision can be absolutely, 99.999999% correct, while the probability of it being good remains at 1%, both known to the decider.
