I find it very unlikely that a total collapse of modern civilization in addition to poor, irradiated harvests due to nuclear winter is easier to survive than poor harvests and extreme weather while having access to modern technology.

Survival is that of the Earth, not people. Nuclear winter could stop uncontrolled thermal runaway, which would have a worse outcome than nuclear war.
