this works fine for smaller peers. For larger ones, it doesn't work so
well. Having said that, larger peers tend not to point default at other
networks

no, you can't expect perfect information in the RIPE DB due to
RIPE-NCC-RPSL-MNT. Even for fully grandfathered native objects, you can
only expect reasonable compliance. The level of compliance depends on how
extensive the as-set is. Once the customer starts pulling in third party
as-sets, then mandating compliance becomes more difficult. Having said
that, the quality of the data in the ripe irrdb is far better than any of
the other irrdbs.
