I will create this aggregate myself (rather, configure a static route to
it on each tunnel) if I decide to implement RPF checks and want my
traceroutes working.

The question is: Why do you need a transit facility that will get you

shooting yourself in the foot regarding the availability of a
longer-term solution.
