I would think that if you(royal you) already are publishing:
  "these are the routes i'm going to originate (and here are my customer lists)"

and you (royal you) are accepting the effort to publish 1 'new' thing
in the RPKI.

you could just as easily take the 'stuff I'm going to publish in IRR'
and 'also publish in RPKI'.
Right? So adoption path aside, because that seems like a weird
argument (since your automation to make IRR data appear can ALSO just
send rpki updates), your belief is that: "Hey, this irr object is
really, really me" is still useful/required/necessary/interesting?
