I guess ISPs will start charging toll for congestionless lanes...

They already did that, L4S or no. "Fast lanes" usually come in the form of peering links or colocated cache servers, both of which involve actual new capacity. Prioritizing individual flows of traffic over ordinary transit links based on monetary value is something IP is uniquely ill-suited to do.
See my comment above - doubt this will happen - rather it will become a differentiator like thoughput.
