One important countervailing consideration not mentioned in the OP or comments is indexical objectives/values[1]. In the presence of such indexical objectives, even a (computational) perfect clone may give rise to an adversary, because both instances will receive different inputs and accrue different state/context for their objectives to relate to.
cf nature where even perfect genetic clones can be in competition.
I agree there’s an important concept here.

Meaning relative to context: location, person, whatnot. Not sure what resource is good but hopefully you get what I mean https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/indexicals/
