yes, it's ok to enable it for all vrfs (i.e. within the vpnv4
address-family config). Not aware of any particular loops triggered by
this.
Enabling it on a per-vrf basis on the standby only wouldn't be too
practical, active/standby can be as granular as per prefix, so PE-a could
be standby for some prefixes and PE-b for others.. so global config for
all VRFs is the practical config..
