Certainly a lot more expensive than a $ 99 Pro license if you have way > 10 XenForo licenses but < 5 people working with FA icons.
Really?
A
standard FA 6 Pro license costs $ 20 / seat /year (if exceeding the 5 included seats)

I don't think this would be a good idea:
If the availibility of Pro icons is only an option, developers and designers would have to stick to Free icons anyway (which is somewhat limiting) or state that customers must also have the "XenForo FA 6 Pro License Option".
The latter option woud most likely distract / annoy potential customers and I'd image this to be a support nightmare ("Why doesn't this work?").
So from my point of view the only realistic options (short of getting a deal with Fonticons, Inc. that would work well for XenForo usecase) would be
- Stick with FA5 forever
- Offer FA 6 usage via customer FA 6 Pro license or by paying an extra per XenForo license (XenForo customers must choose one of those options per XenForo license)
For XenForo customers with multiple instances getting their own FA 6 Pro license could be a lot cheaper than paying +10 $ / XenForo license
- Switch icon set
Side Note:
AFAIK XenForo currently uses 4 commercially licensed components - Froala, Font Awesome Pro, Fancybox & Lightgallery.
50% of them are causing issues / headaches, maybe this does tell smth.
