Would you be willing to pay for a dedicated ARM-based instances, potentially less than 5 dollars per month for a dedicated Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB RAM?

Yes and no. Not at this price: for 5$/mo you can have a real dedicated server (not a VPS) by kimsufi provider for example. Also 1 year of rental at 3-4$/mo = you have spent the same price as buying and owning one.

If I had an application that required ARM, else no.<p>Even then it's extremely unlikely I don't consider the Pi 4 reliable enough to justify paying to have one professionally hosted.

I think similar prices are available on scaleway. Atleast the scaleway ones were very slow (but this a year or two ago).

what would be the benefit of this versus a reserved t4g instance on EC2, for example?

The sellers are usually $1.99-2.99 for this.
