I'm not totally sure of the wisdom involved in gating content when ActivityPub and the Fediverse are still so new and niche.

If you're putting out premium content that doesn't affect the existing communities, whatever, I don't care. But I do have to wonder how you're actually going to make money when most users are used to free content.

Wouldn't it be easier to use Ko-fi or similar?

A lot of people use Mastodon as an RSS feed where they can leave comments. This would basically allow you to subscribe to the content of a writer, and get it full-form straight in your feed.

I could also imagine following artists on Pixelfed, throwing money in their tip jar to keep posted on their newest creations.

I think there's a lot of potential here. But monetisation is always tricky on the internet, of course.
