For what it's worth, I'm at diamond level and this season lost the Sub-League Series in 7 games to the eventual winners. I haven't spent a dime, or made a lucky pack pull and sold it for oodles (I have pulled a couple of nice diamond cards but have built a team around them rather than selling them).
I've made the playoffs each of my 3 seasons at diamond - though the last 2 came down to a Game 163 - after making the playoffs at Gold Level 3 seasons in a row before finally winning it. I didn't get promoted in the initial wave, either, so have had to be competitive to work my up.
So, my experience tells me it is possible to be competitive at the higher levels without spending real money. YMMV
