Are most of the multihomers REALLY a one router shop (implied by your renumbering is easy comment) - although shim6 could help there I guess.

You've also eliminated any possibility of the end multihomed site doing any ingress traffic engineering. I suppose they can do egress which is better than shim6 allows... but in today's world where I get a completely different price for transit than my neighbor - this plan is going to screw some the multihomed sites financially.
