No, it seems that for Maudlin MWi is essentially incoherent because
it cannot come to grips with a sensible account of probabilities. All
attempts to derive probabilities and the Born rule in MWI have been
shown to be circular. Maudlin talks a little more about this in his
book.
Omnes takes the very sensible position that QM is a probabilistic
theory so it predicts probabilities. if the QM of Hilbert space
predicts probabilities, the probabilities must be those of the Born rule.
I think there is an element of question begging in that.
