But if a client takes the policy as Amethyst does to broadcast events on-behalf-of to a paid relay, and then the user closes the app before the deletion event comes across the wire and that payer isn't around anymore, the deletion event doesn't also get onto the paid relay.

But I don't think this is a problem that needs fixing. I think it and many similar scenarios are unavoidable in a distributed network, and what we need is to make sure users understand that delete is a best-effort thing that should not be relied upon.

also, i'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for most clients to implement "optional" "draft" NIP-42 which should by now be both mandatory and in production, there is just going to have to be leadership
