My objection is precisely the opposite of what some have said here.
You are affecting the outside world, but only negatively—using resources that could be put to more important things than one person blissing out, without creating anything for anyone else. I therefore see wireheading just you as an unethical choice on your part.
I am not sure if I have an objection to “wirehead everyone sustainably forever”, if that were ever practical.
Edited to clarify very slighty:
I do have some revulsion at the thought but I have no idea what it would be grounded in, if anything.
