I don’t think people with lots of money have any less aversion to paying taxes as those who don’t. IRMAA can be permanent, not just transitory in some situations. But Roth conversions can, done properly, give you control over future RMDs and taxable income so one can avoid IRMAA and other consequences of having higher taxable income.
