The IPoE and IPoEoADSL I have done didn't need radius, didn't need BNG, 
didn't need a lot of the complications you're talking about. It could 
basically be realised in any decent L3 switch as default gateway for the 
customers instead of needing BNG.

So I'd say if you want to get full potential of IPoE you need to do 
simplification as well, otherwise there is little use in doing the work if 
he only thing you want to change is from IPoPPPoE to IPoE encapsulation 
and keep all the other stuff you're doing.

IPoPPPoE requires special CPE and router at your end to achieve high 
speeds, because they need to support encapsulation/decapsulation of 
packets at whatever speed you provide. The number of devices that do this 
is a lot smaller than the ones that do decent speeds with just IPoE.

So some people will say migrating to IPoE from IPoPPPoE buys them nothing, 
because they feel they need all the mechanisms they currently use. 
Greenfield deployments might say "hey, we can do this without a lot of the 
needed mechanisms for IPoPPPoE" and save a lot of money and complication.
