If it's TCP, adjust the congestion control to stop sending acks and slow the connection when others have priority. Can't do it for anything like udp though.

Huh? Congestion control is enforced on the sender side while ACKs are generated by the receiver.
Apple has a patent on throttling lower priority TCP flows by advertising a reduced receive window based on inter-arrival jitter. I feel this is a cleaner way than delaying ACKs.
Anyways, my point was that LEDBAT wouldn't help.
