That said, the approach seems to be fairly good when you're only
considering one administrative domain, and the tunnel point deployed

addressed with a DHCP option, using a more operator-friendly approach?

Dhcp isn't supported in all cases, dns is.

Agreed for 3GPP. Not sure if I see other major scenarios. (All the ISP cases are all in the different administrative domain.)

But how many of these cases are such that a DNS search-path based approach would not be suitable (due to the requirement to have more control on which tunnel endpoints each are selected by which node, as pointed out by Alain)?
