> Probably better question. Is RFC5549 supported by BIRD?
Yes, RFC 8950 is on the list of supported standards, and can be
configured with the «[require] extended next hop» configuration option.

No reason whatsoever this wouldn't work as well on an IX as it would on
any other Ethernet link. IX-es aren't that special, except maybe needing
to cater to customers running BGP implementations not updated since the
1990s.
