Anyone prepping who hasn't paid to have their appendix taken out isn't really prepping.

You can't be sent to the antarctic if you have one, because the risk of suddenly dying is small but very real and the extraction times impossible.

I'm am not a prepper, but if approached logically I assume you would tackle each risk to yourself in descending order of likelihood.

Given that, having your appendix out would probably be pretty far down the list.

I thought the no appendix requirement was only for doctors going to Antarctica?

There was a Soviet doctor there in the 60's who successfully removed his own appendix, but I think in general that's a situation that you want to avoid.
