I don't see a problem here. People usually complain about P2W in the context that it negatively affects other players' experience. This doesn't affect anyone but yourself, and I'd be more than happy to let people pay real money to fast-track their way to their own weird personal satisfaction.

"But it would make Eden dead content!"
I assure you, there would not be enough people spending real money to make Eden dead content.
