I'd claim MPLS forwarding robustness to be better than IP...

Also, I get working traceroutes that way (unless a network operator
disallows it), which is much better than "packet disappears in an IP
tunnel, and I do not know where along the way packet drops start
happening".

But hey, the world is moving towards EVPN/VXLAN on cheap Broadcom
gear, and vendors charging like $20k extra for MPLS forwarding on
these boxes are pusing hard towards that goal...
