That is not an immortality choice, that is the exact opposite. You "fuse" back into the Universe as undifferentiated consciousness.
Therefore, not good. Doesn't harm anyone else, but why in the world would you throw away the gift of experience and life, and this beautiful planet?
Of course, there are many characters of the two religions that choose to keep reincarnating because they want to help lead others out of suffering, but it's still questionable imho.
