+1 in my experience uRPF get’s enabled, breaks something or causes confusion (usually related to multi-homing) and then 
get’s disabled.

If you have uRPF enabled on all your access routers then you can

note that 'in hardware' is dependent upon the model used...
note that stuffing 2k (or 5 or 10 or...) extra routes into your edge
device could make it super unhappy.

your points are valid for your designed network... they may not work everywhere.
making the features you point out work better or be more widely known
seems like a great idea though :)
