Probably better question. Is RFC5549 supported by BIRD?
Yes, RFC 8950 is on the list of supported standards, and can be configured with the «[require] extended next hop» configuration option.
https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#ss6.4No reason whatsoever this wouldn't work as well on an IX as it would on any other Ethernet link. IX-es aren't that special, except maybe needing to cater to customers running BGP implementations not updated since the 1990s.
