it can also break horribly in situations where the provider is providing
"transit" but doesn't provide full transit.

OTOH, if you are single-homed, it is highly advisable to accept a
default, the reason being that most transit providers provide bgp
communities with "don't advertise to customers" semantics.  So if you're
single-homed and use a full dfz feed without default route, you will not
have full connectivity to all the routes available from the transit
provider.
