I don't think MWI is that much worse than other interpretations.
In fact I tend to see it as better than most.

It is sad (to me) to think that 100 years from now there will be any
MWI adherents - except as some curious cult.
Sean Carroll promotes on his Twiiter (I follow him just to see what
nutty thing he says) that he looks forward to the day where all
physicists are /Mad-Dog Everettians/.

It is not only a rabbit hole, it is a cult that has taken over
physicists (a lot of them anyway).
It's not only MWI, it's also the infinite universe where there are
infinitely many copies of you and where everything happens. And the
multiverse where all possible (mathematically consistent?) universes
exist. We need a way to think about these "infinities". Are they
meaningful? What would it mean to get rid of them and theorize that
everything is finite? Are there some intermediate options? Where are
the meta-physicists when you need them?
