Acceleration is the brain child of libertarian meth addicts that skimmed Marx. It is not only not ethical, being even more devoid of ethical considerations than Marx, who didn't disregard them out of ignorance, unlike most of the authors of accelerationism, but out of an understanding of how these ethical considerations are themselves also irrelevant and disregarded by the ruling class. An accelerationist is a full on unexamined consequentialist, where-as a Marxist understands that the difference between deontology and utilitarianism is mostly a matter of phrasing, and is therefore only worthy of consideration when society becomes democratic.
Additionally, it is non-viable. If the ground-work is not done before the catastrophe, and education is not liberatory, the same cycles of materialism will repeat themselves.
