Yes, it is the service providers job to extend the VPN but if you cannot
assure that your own IGP is stable then you risk messing up all of your
customers networks since you carry the next-hops in IGP. In a perfect world
customer prefixes shall only be carried in BGP and next-hops/loopbacks in
IGP. Sometimes we need to make exceptions but you should be aware of the
risk you are taking by doing so.
