EBGP (and locally generated) routes are no problem. You will get
problems when you pass on IBGP routes (route reflection!) and
you overwrite the next-hop with self. See my other comment.

---------------------

You stated that you "will get problems", I'm saying you SHOULD
NOT per the route reflector SHOULD NOT change the NEXT_HOP on
reflected routes.  As such, you could enable setting of NEXT_HOP
to self on a peering session and only locally generated and EBGP
learned routes will be effected, NOT reflected routes.

Enabling NEXT_HOP setting to self as a general policy is a good
idea for many reasons.  It SHOULD NOT break with route reflection
per it SHOULD only apply to non-reflected routes.
