On a philosophical basis, this may be true.
Yet in practice, things may be more involved.
For me, it seems that uploading is simpler to implement that  biological
survival.
A simple argument is that biological repair would need a molecular scale map
to see what must be  corrected.
That same map would be the essential element in a upload project. For
biological repair it is only a first step.
So, uploading must come first as a byproduct of biological repair.
A uploaded copy may be the best "person" or simulation motivated to conduct
the biorepair work.
