How will T or N know to stop announcing the /23? Does T withdraw the
/23 currently if the T link goes down?

As others have pointed out, PBR is CEF-switched, but you're still
talking about increased CPU to do a PBR lookup on every packet. Make
sure the router(s) has sufficient CPU.
And to echo other sentiments, just use BGP. Doing it without is just
such a kludge.
