I tend to doubt imagined schemers which primarily 3d-chess their way to success, for chaos-related reasons
The standard solution for any chaos-related issues is to sufficiently take control of the system to re-engineer it into becoming more predictable in relevant ways by construction.
This way it should in principle be practical to have perfectly predictable weather, or absolute cure for all possible diseases even in biological humans. Not by reaching an extremely high level of understanding about how the natural systems work, but by changing these systems enough that they are no longer harboring any hard to understand dynamics that are important for their global behavior.

Indeed. von Neumann
Though some chaotic processes are quite hard to control (and others might not take kindly to your attempting to control them)!
