Common sense should have everyone against it, but you know what they say about "common" sense...
Capitalists are already on an accelerationist path, and it's already gotten us in to the sixth major mass extinction event.
Rules TBD.

Any ideology that proposes deliberately making peoples lives worse is not worth discussing.
If I'm playing devils avocado I guess rapid technological and economic growth gives us more value to appropriate in the name of the proletariat?
First of all: I don't really know of any good sources, sorry.
I think your examples are more sabotage than accelerationism. From my understanding, accelerationism would be making the proprietary product more attractive and functional, so that it more quickly saturates the market and is forced to turn towards enshittification to continue posting growth. Literally accelerating the boom-bust cycle, not trying to skip directly to the "bust" part of the cycle.
From that, an argument in favor would be that it's much more feasible to "get away with" than sabotage, as it is merely leaning into the existing trend. An argument against is that, so far, we're not seeing many indications that the "bust" part of the cycle necessarily comes about in a manner that gives more opportunity for overthrowing the whole cycle itself.
It really depends on if the collapse of the status quo provides more opportunity for the oppressed or the oppressors. I don't know enough myself to claim that things will go one way over the other from our current context.
