Ja.  Ignoring the added risk of inability to get you back, or even find you
out there, the added benefit of ultra-cryonics would be small, for the
reduced chemical action at the ultra-low temperatures still does nothing
about the radioactive decay of the brain tissues.  A long time ago we
discussed here the possibility of cryonics patients who know their demise is
eminent devouring carbon-14 depleted food.
