You forgot to dump strength and charisma and push your int to 20. Then put both dex and con at 14. The low carrying capacity is a little rough at low level, but thats why God created Ant Haul.
Also, exploiter wizards (probably) don't qualify for extra exploit, so expect table variation there. Instead take spell specialization and magic missile is always 2, and you can push it to 3 missiles, with a +10 to trip. Best part is, at higher levels you can change the spell it applies to.
I personally think Dimensionnal Slide is way better than Energy Sheild, and I'm playing an Arcanist right now where it's the most useful trick I have (and so cheap).

Exploiter Wizards absolutely qualify for Extra Exploit.
Prerequisite: Arcanist exploit† class feature.
Benefit: You gain one additional arcanist exploit. You must meet the prerequisites for this arcanist exploit.
Edit: OK, Exploiter Wizard does call it "Exploiter Exploit", but if a GM told me they didn't allow it, it'd be a table I'd happily walk away from. I mean, that's still a pretty extreme call.
Exploiter Exploit: At 1st level and every 4 levels thereafter,
the exploiter wizard gains a single arcanist exploit (see
page 9). The exploiter wizard uses his wizard level as his
arcanist level for determining the effects and DCs of his
arcanist exploits. This ability replaces arcane school.

My guess is they used the language that way because it would create confusion to call it "Arcanist Exploit" on a class that isn't an arcanist. I'm not sure if there is another precedent like this on a class feature that has its class name in it.
If there was a limit on the class, it would actively say "arcanist level 1st", like many other feats do.
Both Exploiter Exploit and Arcanist Exploit function in exactly the same way.
and the primalist bloodrager sets a precedent in saying that the rage power it gets via trading aren't counted as having the rage power class feature for feats and such
Its PFS though, so RAW id rule. Generally, they rename things like that so they don't work together. Several fighter archetypes rename Weapon Training just so they don't function with gloves of dueling. Some keep it the same, even though its very clearly not exactly equivalent. Its a design decision.
I'd say about half the PFS GM's I know wouldn't let it work without a FAQ, because every other ability written that way doesn't work. If half the tables you sit at it will probably get bunked, why cause yourself a headache?
It is certainly RAW, and I suspect RAI, though I'm not a dev and the ACG has enough ambiguity that I wouldn't be surprised if something slipped through.

That isn't the same thing - the ability specifically says that it doesn't count for feats and such. Exploiter Exploit has no such wording.
At 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, a primalist can choose to take either his bloodline power or two barbarian rage powers. If the primalist chooses rage powers, those rage powers can be used in conjunction with his bloodrage, and his bloodrager level acts as his barbarian level when determining the effect of those bloodrage powers and any prerequisites. Any other prerequisites for a rage power must be met before a primalist can choose it. This ability does not count as the rage power class feature for determining feat prerequisites and other requirements.

Totally agree: Masterwork Backpack of Heavyload (Belt) (current magical item) and Muleback Cords (current magical item) = 3,050g to increase carrying capacity of your 8 strength wizard from:
26 lbs. or less // 27–53 lbs. // 54–80 lbs.to:
260 lbs. or less // 261–521 lbs. // 522–780 lbs.
No more issue with carrying capacity after the first few levels.

that's exactly what i was saying. it doesnt have that wording, so it may very well count as arcanist exploit for feats and such (merely rebranded to avoid player/GM confusion)
IMO, exploiter wizard isn't OP for PFS compared to any number of other wizard builds. You have to spend multiple exploits just to replicate class features that specialist wizards get for free and you don't get the specialist bonus spells.
