If I was in that same room and I heard all that popping, I’d immediately nope out of there before my anxiety spikes

Even setting my own feelings aside, Pinkie was never so rude and socially unaware as to disrupt the party by intentionally destroying things.
I guess Izzy is still the inconsiderate nightmare roommate she was right at the beginning of TYT when they first moved in.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

It’s totally fine and understandable if balloon stuff upsets or annoys you. I definitely had some years of my life where the phobia was very much a day to day struggle to deal with. I’ve changed since then, but I sympathize.
That said, I’ve updated the post with moments where this kind of situation comes up involving Pinkie.
At least in the canon material, none of the characters have a particularly strong opinion about balloons popping. Only in the IDW Comic canon is it specifically addressed for Rainbow Dash, and in a couple of episodes it’s mildly hinted at being a negative for Fluttershy since she doesn’t like noise in general. And (EqG) Pinkie Pie’s stated attitude towards balloons is that there’s “Always time for balloons”.

Maybe she’ll redeem herself like Sunset slowly did after messing up Pinkie’s party, but Izzy is talking about herself when singing about T.R.A.S.H.

Pinkie Pie did a very similar thing in Secret of our Excess, which I think this episode is a soft allusion to. Also in Equestria Girls, though that’s arguably a separate character.
Generally the vibe is that Pinkie Pie just wants everyone to have a good time, however they enjoy themselves.
As far as the actual content across all of the shows, movies, and comics, very view of the characters have shown particularly polarized opinions about balloon popping in particular. Mostly just Pinkie Pie is keen to have them around. And even when Pinkie herself starts to pop frequently in Pony Life, most of her friends had very little reaction to it at all.
Additional moments worth considering:
Pinkie Pie happily overinflating a balloon in the intro of MLPFiM.
EqG Pinkie Pie happily overinflating a balloon in the intro of the first Equestria Girls movie.
Pinkie Pie happily overinflating the blue balloon in the 4DE ad.
Pinkie Pie unintentionally overinflating the green balloon in the background during School Daze.
Pinkie Pie accidentally overinflating the balloon in The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows. (The only character who reacts negatively to the pop is Fluttershy. Everyone else seems to be more focused on Pinkie Pie’s unusually secretive behavior)
Her relative lack of reaction to the balloon popping in Castle Sweet Castle, Newbie Dash, Call of the Cutie.
The relative lack of reaction in My Little Pony: The Movie
EqG’s relative lack of reaction to popping in The Finals Countdown, Pinkie Spy, and All The World’s Off Stage (Pinkie Pie Ending).
Her positive reaction to Rainbow Dash having fun popping the balloons in the IDW Comics (Issue 69).
Her non-existent reaction to Discord having fun popping the balloons in the IDW Comics (Issue 89).
EqG Pinkie’s nonexistent reaction to the balloon popping in the IDW Comic Cantelot High March Madness. (This is more of a matter between Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash, surprisingly)
EqG Pinkie’s balloon pop when bouncing on a large yellow balloon while Twilight Sparkle and Applejack are having a conversation in the first EqG movie.
EqG Pinkie’s lack of relation to Applejack popping a balloon as a way to illustrate that Sunset Shimmer is not trustworthy.
The main counterpoints are:
Her frustration with being told she can’t have balloons in her class later in School Daze and popping them. (A marked difference from the lack of response earlier when it wasn’t something she was mandated to do.)
Her frustration with Gilda popping her balloons (she wants Gilda to have fun, not ruin the fun for others.)
Her frustration with Sunset Shimmer popping her balloons (She is trying to prepare for a party, and doesn’t want Sunset to ruin the fun for others)
Her frustration after the accidental replacement-sun balloon pop in Horse Play. (Everyone is frustrated because this would have been a suitable replacement for the previous broken sun prop.)
