Soon as those hurdles are surmounted, armies will train then freeze conscripts. Only thawing when they need meat for the grinder, or when better weapons come out that need more training.

That's the only way they get brought back en masse.

This is literally what happens to Helldivers in Helldivers 2. As much as I enjoy the game I'd rather not have Super Earth become a reality.

That sounds like slaves with extra steps, so that tracks with my thoughts.

Tho that seems like a massively dystopian waste of resources when they could just build robots, which surely they will be able to do if they can reanimate humans.

So yeah, that’s likely.

Humans are easier to indoctrinate than sapient robots, because human biases are predictable.

Fascist politician: the Jews are stealing your money to cause the downfall of your race! They're even breeding your children with black people to destroy you!

Human reaction: yeah, that makes sense

Robot reaction: ...why tho?

Robots may still have biases, but they probably won't be exactly the same as a human's. I doubt a robot would care for a "think of the children" argument
