I guess I must accept the wisdom of those who have tried these things.
Still, it hurts my intuition that it could be better for a program to
choose a line where it seems to win by 2 points, when another line seems
to end in a 100 point win. What if the opponent can improve his play
from what I expected, and gain an extra 3 points somewhere?

Maybe all this shows that we have not (yet?) understood all the
complications of the MC evaluation, and that more research is needed?
