Current polkit policy installed by systemd in fact is already more permissive than what you propose: it allows *any* user to enable lingering for themselves. So enabling it for wheel-members/other-admin-users wouldn't make much sense. But if the current policy was ever changed (either upstream or locally), using this kind of policy would make a lot of sense.
