Not necessarily, if all relevant providers agree.
No questions that this doesn't get complex.

A 2500 can't hold a full routing table, but it certainly can work
with partial routes.
There's the broader question of precisely what multihoming is
intended to protect against in the specific situation. BGP
multihoming helps some things, while local loop diversity, upstream
physical diversity, local loop load sharing, DNS, etc., all have
roles.
