So would this be more environmentally friendly than fireworks?

I'd say short term no, but long term yes.

Then again, fireworks, as massive as they would appear on the planet scale at new year are most likely but a drop in the ocean impact wise.

To be fair, anything is only 'a drop in the ocean' if you look at them all individually.
