Even if the person/ group who controls the drone security forces can never be forcibly pushed out of power from below, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be value drift over long periods of time.
I don’t know if a system that stops all relevant value drift amongst its elites forever is actually more likely than 1 percent.
Also, my possibly irrelevant flame thrower comment is that China today really looks pretty good in terms of values and ways of life on a scale that includes extinction and S-risks. I don’t think the current Chinese system (as of the end of 2021) being locked in everywhere, forever, would qualify in any sense as an existential risk, or as destroying most value (though that would be worse from the pov of my values than the outcomes I actually want).
