Similar boat here, and know of many other companies in the same situation (although we chose Alma).

We thought we were on a good proven path of paying for support where we need it, and using the downstream alternatives when we didn't. Turns out we should have more seriously considered a move to Debian...

I'm not really shocked Red Hat are trying to squeeze more money out of their existing audience, everything they offer is eye-wateringly expensive nowadays. I almost choked when I got a quote back for the Ansible automation platform, before installing AWX for free.

I think getting away from RH is probably the safest plan.

AAP is crazy expensive, just like RHEL. I think they are going to lose a lot of customers and dollars due to this, both immediately and even more so later.
