If the block size can be in a way that 1 sat/vbyte transactions can all be processed in the next block, will this not be good?

No, that will be terrible, since the block subsidy is slowly being phased out, leaving security of the chain entirely up to fees.

The capped supply can only work in the long term if a fee market develops based on sustained congestion.
