I don't know about this. Controlling a fully repairable entity which is
basically immortal while still being a victim of ego and identification
seems to be a bad idea. Most of our spiritual progress stems from
suffering and setbacks grinding down our ego and sense of self.
Just give an immature child an immortal game character (via the use of
cheats for example) and watch how he not only ruins the game for
everybody else but also how his quality of consciousness degenerates
quickly.
IMHO, the fragile nature of our human avatars is critical for the whole
learning process (or rather for the reduction of entropy inherent to our
individual consciousness).
99% of humanity does not feature the quality of consciousness it would
take to responsibly deal with more powerful avatars. Just imagine the
Hitler regime, Trump government or your average neighbour to be in
control of semi-immortal avatars ... NO THANK YOU!
