You pay a congestion price anyway: the difference is whether you pay it in time or $. Paying with wasted waiting time is always societally suboptimal.
i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!
