It probably depends on where you want to do such limiting, right?
"At peering/transit edge" - save your core, dont' carry traffic you
"know" you will throw away anyway.
"At the customer edge" - scaling of state management could be
problematic && you'll carry this 'bad' traffic across your network.

Note: I'm not really casting aspersions on either part of the whole
argument here, just attempting to provide some color to the parts
which seem 'unlikely to be successful'

I think for a bunch of this discussion there are N folks with M goals,
and eventually 'the market will dictate' which final direction we
travel.
