There’s an even stronger argument against EDT+SSA: That it can be diachronically dutch-booked. See Conitzer (2017). (H/t Anthony DiGiovanni for the link.)
I find this satisfying, since it more cleanly justifies that EDT shouldn’t be combined with any empirical updating whatsoever. (Not sure what’s the situation with logical updates.)
(The update that Paul suggests in a parallel comment, “exclude worlds where your current decision doesn’t have any effects”, would of course still work — but it transparently doesn’t serve any decision-relevant purpose and doesn’t seem philosophically appealing either, to me.)
