Teleportation makes a lot more sense though, all it takes is something going on at a level below our current understanding. Folding space is only a byproduct of math that shoehorns in a not-alike 4th time dimension into space, so is certainly not how space actually is.
Curved space is like saying taste is composed of saltiness, sweetness, sourness, and sweat - one of these things doesn't belong. Useful in food science maybe because it explains spicy foods. Really the sweat is the result not a taste itself, just like time is the result of space not space itself.
The risk with teleportation is you enter the philosophical issue of are you still you on the other side as you are essentially breaking someone down, atom by atom, then reconstructing those atoms in a similar structure somewhere else.
Yeah but the worst case is there's two of you. One chooses to get murdered so the other can live... basically euthanasia with an upside.
But the amount of information you'd have to send, it'd probably be faster to deep freeze you and send you on a spaceship than through a portal. Like sneakernet is still faster than internet.

Yeah, if time isn't an issue, cryogenics and travel would be the way to go. If time is an issue, I'd still go with wormholes
Because I've done entire philosophy debates about teleportation including the dreaded ship analogy that I've been scarred for life in ever trying it.
