What are your thoughts on the Copenhagen interpretation? Would

Yes of course it would, it would fundamentally undermine all work in theoretical physics and astronomy.
Also depends whether the people around me are real conscious beings or just soul-less automata. Likewise there comes the question of whether we have the capability whatsoever to influence the world outside the simulation, through communication or otherwise.

Well I mean hopefully I could change course and not live as I am now, or kill myself with the assurance of continuity of consciousness into a better environment. Not seeing the connection between the concepts though. Also Many Worlds or something approximately like it is true.

The Copenhagen interpretation does not mean we live in the matrix, first of all. Secondly I think it's generally acknowledged that Copenhagen is a stop-gap measure, useful enough as a philosophical apparatus to allow physicists to continue practicing without getting wrapped up in conceptual labyrinths, but not really providing a satisfactory understanding of what the formalism says about the world.

I read in a book that Bohr even understood that there was an objective reality behind the phenomena in question, and reading some of the statements he made leads me to believe the same. I'm more drawn to the simplicity of the Everett interpretation, but I also acknowledge that it needs to be reconciled with the Born rule mathematically and Bell's theorem philosophically.

You mean that as 2 seperate questions right?
Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, has little to do with the whole matrix theory and does not imply we live in a "matrix".
