No, you don't, and you don't want to either.
You customers will have visibility to one another at Layer 2
if you don't enable Split Horizon, MAC-FF, Private VLAN's,
or whatever implementation your favorite vendor uses to
prevent inter-communication between customers in a shared
VLAN at the AN/bridge level.
While it seems sensible, it normally isn't a good idea. The
majority of what will take place between customers at Layer
2 is dirt. Best to run them through a Layer 3 device
upstream and apply appropriate filtering.

I'm more impressed by the braveness of this implementation,
than the actual implementation itself, I mean.
In our case, given the number of customers in question that
would terminate on a BNG (be it a small switch or big
router), long term control plane performance is a huge
concern, as well as how the hardware handles Multicast and
other corner-case services in various topologies.
