MPLS VPN design - RR in forwarding path?

You don't need LDP on RR as long as clients support "not on lsp" flag (different implementation have different names for it)
There are more and more reasons to run RR on a non router HW, there are many reasons to still run commercial code base, mostly feature set and resilience.
