Yes, you'd need to manually configure the PE interface as neighbour in
every CE. I personally don't worry much about CE config/complexity, partly
because I don't much deal with them, partly because the config is
manageable anyhow as it's one customer.
But I can understand it can be problem in some environments where with IGP
you can live with standard config.

I guess vendor could implement this by allowing DHCP default-gw to be
configured as BGP peer. Now you just need to be buying devices for half a
million USD to get PERS/ER done :)
