If you don't have multihoming requirements other than availability
then it really can be fire and forget.
Except for those pesky bogon filters.... which corporations seem to like
to "fire and forget".
Perhaps that's something you should "outsource" to your provider?

Plus, you missed the part: "If you don't have multihoming requirements other than availability". Bogon filters do _not_ enhance availability. (And please don't argue about things like attacks from unallocated space - the disconnectivity caused by un- updated bogon filters is much higher than the increase from things like this.)
