Have they considered doing GSLB via DNS rather than playing routing
games?  Seems as if it might answer better, be less complex, et. al.

I suspect they want to solve the split brain problem, which would
explain the strong, non-negotiable requirement of traffic flow to only
one site.  DNS tweaks won't help with that (and to be honest, BGP
doesn't address it, either).
