This is a good distinction.
Downzapping is currently a little bit like paying to block: if you downzap a comment below the default threshold for most users (10 sats for a post, 1 sat for a comment) the comment will be collapsed and show up at the bottom of the comment list.
So if a comment is off topic and hasn't received any zaps and you downzap it 100 sats, users with default settings won't see that comment.
Down zapping already works.
Also if you are like me and mute a lot, having to pay for that on SN would be hellish.
ATP I would just create a nym and not share my thoughts publicly anymore.
"Good fences make good neighbors.” check out Mending Wall for understanding how I am thinking through this if you are curious.
What is the difference between how you use mute and downzap?
What if downzaps also produced a mute (of the post/comment at least, but potentially of the user)?

I don't use downzaps hardly ever, mostly just mute on SN but haven't had to mute someone in a long time.

I mute, so right now in this current environment I would never will have this problem.
How often are you downzapping?
I look for bots that are posting slop comments on threads. I subscribe to them, and then I downzap every single comment they make. So, I'd say I'm downzapping 10 or so comments a day.
But I hear your point about mutes.
A wanted poster would be fun. I'd need to figure out how to make it apply to any slop bots. But I like the idea.
I would def pay to mute Jimmy, his takes have been dull and wrong such as the Hapsburg empire, at least get your dates right
I don't think you should have to pay for mute, that's like forcing someone to be notified of a troll or something.
Pay-for-block makes more sense to me, especially if you want conversations in a post to stay on-topic.
