There’s been a relatively recent swelling of $100M ARR commercial open-source businesses (Confluent, Elastic, Mongo, GitLab). The common strategy seems to be an “open core” with $$$ enterprise-level addons. Are there any examples on that scale with consumers as customers?

Fair - I use/pay/discovered it as a consumer.
If your criteria is "primarily paid for by non-businesses" I suspect the base rate is low outside of games (are there open source games?)
