I would recommend a default to the core from the device to achieve ping/traceroute.

If you are need the route reflector to issue withdraws on routes in the OSPF table disappearing this
can be accomplished by using a floating null route to those ips.

Right, I suppose what I meant was both technical and operational considerations. If our NOC happen to be troubleshooting routing on the route reflector, and suddenly need to ping/traceroute to an address, the potential for not having an entry in the FIB despite its presence in the RIB could cause massive confusion.
