> We are looking for pros/cons of doing so. 
Just to mention several aspects:
-with adding CEs into your MPLS cloud you're going to increase the number of
routes IGP has to carry. 
-you mentioned the CE is in customer premises dependent on their environment
variables that can eventually contribute to device outage which will
consequently introduce instabilities to your IGP. 

> Security is the main concern
I don't know about this one.
How plausible is that customer will replace your device with theirs without
you noticing it + they crack all the passwords so they can run ISIS, LDP and
BGP sessions with you. 

>Are there any best practise types docs around this type of setup? 
Google for Unified MPLS.
