Everett is supposed to be QM without observers. So the number of
things that Mr Data can possibly be aware of is irrelevant.

Yes, but I'm not a big fan of "sticking to scripture". What matters
for
me is that collapse is inconsistent with the SE, therefore we should
consider QM without collapse and see how to best to move forward on
that
basis.
That still treats the SE as indubitally true. No theory in physics is
'indubitably true'.
The Everett program is to say that the SE is all that there is -- it
explains everything. That is clearly false (no Born rule in the SE),
so it might be wise to doubt the universal application of the SE.
There is no good reason to doubt the SE without any experimental hints
that it breaks down, or any good theoretical reasons why it is likely to
break down in some regime.
