It wouldn't have thought it was significantly worse than the walking route; as I play it through in my head. I might be missing something significant though, as I've never actually tried it in a wheelchair.
I think a key consideration would be the transfer access from the Hibiya line to the Yamanote line. I found the map below online, but I'm not sure how old or accurate it is:

This map says that Ebisu station requires the use of stairs.
