I agree in the sense that inseparability remain intact, and violating the Bell’s equality remains a theorem, and thus true in all branches, but the big difference between Everett and Copehangen (and its variants) is that the non-locality does not imply any FTL action at a distance. With Copenhagen, there is action at a distance, even if they are unable to be used to transmit information at a distance.
