Once again, it cannot be a Heaven for anyone as long as they experience human emotion and have access to past memories - which all tourists in San Junipero do.
You claim that hell isn't torture, wailing, gnashing of teeth but instead just a place to remember your regrets, but then you dismiss it as heaven becuase it doesn't fit your idea of what it should be?
Of course SJ isn't "heaven", the viewer can plainly and with 100% certainty see exactly what SJ is...it's a place to upload your consciousness for eternity. That isn't heaven or hell, it's just a computer simulation.
But if forced to pick between the 2 it would be far more heaven-like than hell, where there is absolutely ZERO happiness or joy at all for eternity.

And again, to echo Dawg's thoughts here, not only is in NOT heaven or hell, if it is anything, it is BOTH. The function of free will is that we can choose to make our eternity heaven or hell, even when it is the same place. Or, as I argued previously, Purgatory.
The exercise of free will allows people to make the world what they make of us. We control our destinies.
