So in an ideal situation, you could be leveraging your credit line at a rate of 2-3% while the account is gaining 7-8% annually?

Would that gain in interest pay back the credit line?

Sort of but not quite. Your growth in invested assets may out pace the interest on the loan. But if you were invested in interest bearing assets they probably wouldn't out yield the interest accrued. You are taking on the risk of being invested in assets that could go down. You can choose to sell assets or apply dividends or interest to principal or just let balance owed grow while anticipating a larger growth rate on the assets invested.

But current asset backed loan rates aren't that ideal. Instead you are looking at paying ~7% or more which you historically could out perform in an S&P 500 fund but could lose $ and may not be worth risk for a few % potential advantage. Back when total rate was <2% it made more sense to just let interest accrue and loan balance grow because I was confident I'd outperform in mid term.
