Yes, you should probably read up a bit about BGP, and why you need
a full mesh of i-BGP speakers.

You mean, just OSPF and no BGP on the firewalls? That's probably worth
another look.

Depends on your timers, but <10sec is not unreasonable for OSPF.
If you have to wait for BGP timers and session re-establishment that
would take longer.
