It's possible. I've worked with the commercial side of an open source project where the company that I worked for paid the OS team for some dev-time and guaranteed code reviews. It worked out okay but I assume that the cost was significantly higher than the numbers on this page. The project that we did this for was significantly more complex than Intro.js.
Companies are willing to trade money for a guarantee that something they are adopting in anger will stick around. That said I don't know if this pricing model is the right way to go about it, price signaling is a big factor at the enterprise level. For everyone below enterprise this will feel like a donation.
On a slightly different note, is anyone familiar with a successful AGPL licensed project? I worked with an OS teams a few years back where someone involved made the decision to go AGPL for commercial reasons and 100% of the OS contributions dried up over night.
