None of your stuff fixes wish in any way at all. It makes it harder to get SLA/Su wish but it does absolutely nothing to stop someone with that capability from breaking the entire game. All your solutions do is break other things. Like planar binding or ice assassin.
In that case I'll go back to my very first post in this thread - Pathfinder already solved this problem by removing the item creation function from the safe list, hamstringing wish loops like these. Even if you dislike PF as a whole, borrowing their tweaks to individual spells is an easy lift. And then if you feel the need to dampen it further, we can apply efreet nature and the other drawbacks to early wishing that the designers saw fit to point out to GMs etc.
