Two problems with heaven come to mind immediately (slightly different than the boredom problem).
1) Polarity is an inherent aspect of consciousness/being. If you’re in paradise, then you’re unconscious of the opposite pole. You’re either ignorant and naive or repressing the knowledge of the Darkness and therefore not fully conscious. To be fully alive and fully conscious is to exist in the middle between Heaven and Hell. Christ as an archetype of the fully integrated Self is the bridge between Heaven and Hell. There is an asymmetry between these poles which drives motion. The asymmetry is that the Good is greater than the Evil which means the ultimate fear driving Evil is the fear of death or being forgotten. The ultimate reward driving the positive pole is eternal life. But because of this principle of polarity and maximum consciousness being found in the middle, those who try to keep their life by striving for the one pole end up losing it while those who voluntarily give up their life and descend to the depths of Hell will find life.
2) The separation of Will and it’s manifestation is the origin of time, desire, and purpose. Desire and purpose are unrealized potential. Potential energy we can analogously call Voltage. Voltage drives current and with a circuit we can build something interesting. When desire manifests instantly there is no voltage, no potential, no capacity to do work or build anything. The creative principle must first be frustrated before it can be released.
