Indeed, I think this is how Coil, for example, does it with the 'subscriber only' content. One of the downsides is Coil pulls all content down via a javascript request, which means visibility to search engines is pretty poor.
Indeed, I can foresee a bit of a 'stand off' between web monetisation and search engine optimisation. People are going to want optimal discoverability of their content, yet at the same time want it monetized. I guess one option could be that web crawlers are WM enabled and pay to 'read' your site too!
Not sure to what extent it affects SEO, but I believe for paid contents using traditional methods, the contents do not load either until they make sure the client accessing it has a valid account with an active subscription.
