As long as RPKI "unknown" / not-found prefixes are able to be globally routed, I will not pay. I have a legacy ARIN /24 from the 90's. It was cheaper for me to get an ASN and IPv6 block through a RIPE LIR than go through ARIN.
As for IRR, one of my upstreams created an RADB entry for me on behalf of my ASN, so not too concerned there.
