No, it’s you and me. You wouldn’t say “ such as I.”

All the greats ignored rules - consider Joyce and Twain. Question here (picking a nit) is nominative case versus objective case: if it renames the subject, well, nominative as in, "It is I."

“you and me must not lose heart”

In this instance, you break it down:
“You must not lose heart. I must not lose heart.”

You wouldn’t say “Me must not lose heart”.
