You still need to send the acks when downloading. If the upload is saturated then you will still have issues downloading stuff, as either the acks are delayed or dropped.

No, nonono. There is a difference between upstream and downstream. The upload would not make general use noticeably slower.

Wrong, you still need to send traffic to receive it. If upload is bottlenecked your net will feel increasingly sluggish

Well, yea, though that would suggest a very limited bandwidth

Except for “traffic shaping” and other such bullshit that may unnecessarily cause congestion, trying to optimize the shit out of that upload.
