[c-nsp] next-hop-self under address-family vpnv4 also?

BGP PIC Edge would be recommended but if it is not supported, use different RDs even for the same VPN. This would allow second best path to be installed for the same prefix.

Next-hop-self is enabled automatically under vpnvX AF.
If the code supports it I'd recommend:
address-family vpnv4
   bgp advertise-best-external  <-- enables best-external + pic(if supported).
   no bgp recursion host <--disables recursive lookup for BGP NHs.
   bgp nexthop route-map BGP_NHT <--specifies which prefixes qualify as BGP NHs.
   bgp nexthop trigger delay 0 <--allows BGP to act on IGP events immediately(enable if FRR backup is available for the BGP NH).
route-map BGP_NHT permit 10
  match ip address prefix-list PE_LOOPBACKS
  match source-protocol "igp" <--if you are using hierarchical MPLS you need to add BGP there as well.
route-map BGP_NHT permit 20
  match source-protocol connected
