Dual-PA multihoming works, and has a number of extra benefits that you
cannot get with PI - like, applications can decide which ISP to use
("bittorrent on cable, ssh on LTE") by selecting the corresponding
source address.

It's not something that would work for an enterprise network, but as soon
as the "we need persistant addresses!" phase of denial is over, it's a great
solution for SoHo networks.  And yes, been there, tested OpenWRT HNCP
implementation, liked the result.
