Free will in heaven is not even close to being a problem:

1) Only choosing to do good is an acquired habit not a compulsion.
2) Heaven has various levels (mansions) based on the amount of good someone is receiving at any given time.
3) Someone can exercise free will by choosing between various good actions.
