I like the angle where someone else gets the job done, but it ends up being a power play that causes new problems, changes the dynamic.

If this ever happens to you, just have another group of heroes try to stop the baddie's plan, only to publicly fail. It shows the world has stuff that is happening whether they buy in or not.

I had something like that with my last group. I was the guy who was always playing someone crazy to die for some reason or another, but when it came my time to DM I'd do way too much worldbuilding and make everything insane and lore driven. I still haven't found a new group after moving far away, I miss it.
I would understand the concomitant urge to act like you're an Indestructible Demigod of Finding Out, but the wisdom of my years are telling me that you need to maybe have a heart to heart with the DM, and explain how the stakes don't feel real if you're always one bad roll away from a Deus Ex Machina. Tell them that they should feel free to let fate take its toll, that you accept the risk, and that you will do your level best to have any accidental deaths mean something and contribute to the story.
