I agree but I don't think you need to refer to QM at all. The conclusion

still follow in a classical infinite universe.
I don't see that, because you can subdivide classical states indefinitely (hence the
space-time continuum) while with QM you only have a certain number of allowed states
for some things at least (electrons and suchlike), and it's hypothesised this might
also apply to space-time (I think it has to for this argument to work.)
The engineering tolerance of the brain must be finite (and far higher than the Planck
level) if we are to survive from moment to moment, and that implies there are only a
finite number of possible brains and hence mental states.
And so only a finite number of different possible worlds - assuming comp.
