A near-infinity of universes is frugal? Compared to a literal infinity, I suppose. Or did you mean frugal in terms of assumptions?
The assumptions are frugal. The Schrödinger equation already generates these infinitely many timelines as soon as you include yourself as the observer into the quantum description govrned by it. Usually,one artificially discards all but one of those superimposed states when a "measurement" has taken place, which is a strange exception. If you don't, you're already halfway in the MWI...
