Users paying relays directly goes against decentralization.
I am not sure about aut-ct; would't a proof of utxo ownership cease to be valid once you do not own the utxo? also, how do you do rate limi...
Against decentralization? Not sure why; you choose to use specific relays already, right. If pay is cheap and low friction, don't see a problem there.
(Re: Utxo ownership, it can be snapshot based and size,age filtered. It protects against bursty traffic (so imo rate limiting is the only thing it works well for!) but such tokens can be created in large numbers at low cost so in many use cases they don't fit very well even though they are very private. Hence e.g. ecash paid with an ln deposit.)
