I'm not sure if I got your point right. Today all spam detection/prevention techniques have and will keep having their trade-offs (unless somebody formally proves otherwise).

That's true.

Not exactly: these accounts are almost always useless to create. The randomized links (that receivers have shared somewhere and haven't revoked yet) are valuable, not just an army of accounts. Without the links, the bots can't start conversations.

If you specifically meant money (or whatever is exchangeable with money, like a new SIM)—money could be (and I think should be) used in order to improve spam detection. As something additional, not as a requirement. But this doesn't imply the necessity of dealing with such a hopelessly vulnerable system as SS7 in particular: crypto transactions (to buy some premium account/verification mark/stickers pack/an offline thing/make an exchange/boost a post/sell something/act as a compute service for somebody/etc.) are enough to improve the trust rank.
