Floating statics would be a less-hassle means to continue connectivity
(with only 2 locations not much of a scaling issue).  Or, if you want, a
default route (learned via BGP if possible) going to your upstream(s).  An
IBGP session sharing full routing information might not be something you
want to keep established over a GRE tunnel.
