It would be good to track how much memory you're currently using for all
the sessions you have so far. Is this something you're graphing?

BGP Multi-Path is supported both on eBGP and iBGP sessions.

If you are going to multi-home to the same carrier, then there are
better chances of load balancing depending on how much more complex you
want to set yourself up. However, what you gain in extra load balancing,
you lose in outright resiliency, as you're still putting all your eggs
in one basket.

Not immediately, but check your memory utilization graphs as at now. If
you aren't doing that, just run a simple "sh processes memory platform".
