I remember several late-night calls with Juniper, nearly a decade ago, 
when we were evaluating their Broadcom-based platforms for deployments 
where NG-MVPN had been anticipated, both via p2mp RSVP-TE as well as mLDP.

They were not comfortable committing to supporting NG-MVPN on their 
Broadcom boxes then. I'm not sure how far that has come in 2023, but 
probably worth reaching out to your SE and asking about whether what you 
are trying to do is supported on the Broadcom chips your boxes are running.
