Yes, from personal experience BCP 38 should never be implemented buy a transit 
provider as it will inevitably cause breakage on multi-homed downstream 
customers for little to no gain and a lot of customer anger. It should be 
implemented at the customer edge AS, so for a wholesale transit provider is 
more of a customer education situation.  By all means use prefix lists to 
prevent your customer networks being received anywhere but directly from your 
customers to prevent them using your capacity without paying for it however.
